The white bejeweled glove was a trademark of the U.S. singer, and according to auction house Bonhams and Goodman this was the first Jackson glove to go on sale since he died in June at the age of 50.
After a bidding war between collectors in Australia and the United States, it was bought by Warwick Stone on behalf of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
“There was a huge amount of interest in the week leading up to the sale. We were still pretty surprised by the price,” Charlotte Stanes of the auction house told Reuters.
Wow, that’s a lot of money for a glove! You know, Hard Rock should have shopped at Costume Craze and saved $48,981. We have Michael Jackson’s officially licensed glove in stock and ready to ship!
We have a whole line of new Michael Jackson costumes – perfect for Halloween or prop collectors. What a great way to pay tribute to the King of Pop and preserve his amazing legacy.

Rorschach the lounge singer? This Watchmen parody is really funny! This guy does a good Rorschach impersonation – though I admit at times he kind of sounds like a Muppet.

We were so excited to see famous actor Greg Grunberg link to our Pilot Costume on Twitter! Wow, he has over half a million Followers on his Official Twitter account. He’s a very popular guy.
Greg Grunberg currently stars on the hit TV show Heroes. He plays Matt Parkman, a former cop with special mental powers. He’s previously starred on Felicity, Alias and appeared in a ton of other movies and TV shows.
He also guest starred on Lost (Ep 1. Part 1) – playing a pilot who’s having a REALLY bad day.
Here’s a few stills showing Greg Grunberg in the Pilot Costume. When I said he’s having a really bad day, I wasn’t kidding!
Wow, his scene was short, but intense! Even before he got eaten by the monster, he looked pretty beat up!
Okay, so here’s a great way to look like Greg Grunberg on Lost. Simply pick up the Pilot Costume that he linked to, along with some Fake Blood – and you’ve got the perfect Unlucky Pilot costume from LOST!
Thanks for linking to us, Greg. See you on Twitter!
It’s no secret – EVERYONE loves robot costumes. No matter if you’re young or old, it’s fun to pretend that you’re taking over the world and the humans must be destroyed. LOL, here’s a great clip from Flight of the Conchords where the band sings a song in robot costumes.

Have you seen the new Mountain Dew commercial? It’s awesome! Attractive ladies in the grocery store suddenly turn into WoW characters and do battle. The commerical ends with, “Choose your side…”
