Michael Jackson Concert Tour Jackets

Back in the 80's Michael Jackson concert t-shirts were everywhere. But only the really cool people had Micahel Jackson tour jackets! What that really means it only the people with money had those coats and jackets. They were pretty cool though. Most of them were very high quality and made of leather, at least partially.

It's amazing how fast we outgrow the desire to sport such clothing when at one time it meant everything to us. It was our way of self expression and support to our musical hero Michael Jackson. But eventually we out grew that passion and gave up wearing the jacket. Often because we literally outgrew the jacket too!

Because we paid so much for these jackets we didn't pitch them, nor did we part with them. We stuck them in a box and then stored it in the attic or garage. Thousands of us did that. With the passing of Michael Jackson many people are digging out those old vintage tour jackets from the Thriller and Bad years. Even the Vicotry and Dangerous concert tours were a long time ago!

These jackets are now in great demand and people are selling their once cherished tour jackets in order to make a few bucks and get back their invenstment. This is simply outstanding news for us collectors! Never before has there been so many of these collectible Michael Jackson tour jackets from various concerts available. It's a MJ memorabilia dream come true and it will likely never be this good again.

Not only are the various concert tour jackets available but the selection is so good right now that finding your size is not all that difficult when just a few months ago you likely had to settle for what was offered if you wanted one that fit you. Yes, they are a little overpriced, but not when you consider you can actually get what you need for your collection, and find one that fits and is in good condition, and that there will never be another Michael Jackson "memorabilia buffet" like there is right now!

So if you're into the MJ touring jackets, start shopping now! Take a look at what's out there and if you find what you want, grab it while you can. A tour jacket, especially the quality leather ones, is a fantastic piece of memorabilia for any collection. They look fantastic hanging beside your other Michael Jackson keepsakes and give any display a touch of class, just like the cool kids who wore them back in the 80's and 90's!

Michael Jackson Thriller vinyl LP Album

Do you remember when Thriller came out back in, what was it, 1982? Most of you reading this don't remember that, but for those of you who do, it was a pretty cool time in music. MTV had just gotten started and that in itself was just way over the top! CD's where in their infancy and this brings me to the topic of the Thriller album and it's value as a collectible.

First, it's not likely that these albums, even if the shrink wrap is still on, will make you rich. At most you can expect $100.00. Most albums, opened and played but in great shape are going for between $20.00-$50.00. There were just too many produced. However, as a piece of memorabilia, which is what collections are really about, it's priceless!

Thriller was a huge success and it was the last monster success for any artist before CD's took over. This makes it unique, in my opinion and why I think every Michael Jackson collection should have the Thriller album, one of the original 1982 -84 vinyl 33-1/3 rpm lps, proudly displayed

There are a lot of these old records for sale now as folks are cleaning out their attics in hopes of making a few bucks on their "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" albums. The ones who benefit the most are collectors like myself and you! These folks are giving up something very unique, not just a record, but a time period. An American icon. A transitional period in the music indurstry. Pre-AOL....heck it was pre-internet and pre-windows! Collecting is about memories and time gone by and the Thriller album does all of that.

So go ahead people, you keep on cleaning out those old boxes of Michael Jackson merchandise and let us collectors have a go at it! I've never seen a better time to buy "The King of Pop" collectibles. The selection right now is like an open buffet! I doubt if they'll be re-filling this buffet though. Get em while you can!

Michael Jackson Collectible Autographs

The sudden and untimely death of Michael Jackson has created a huge demand for Jackson collectibles, mainly autographed pieces. Several autographs have sold on eBay for over $1,000 in just a few hours after the announcement of his death.




There are many autographs of MJ out there but certain time periods hold more value, such as early Thriller era periods or his very private and troublesome 2000-2004 years. These signatures, often just scribbled on a napkin, can bring a lot of money if you are fortunate enough to own one.

The value of a Michael autograph can mean much more than just the amount of money it can fetch. Autographs hold sentimental value that cannot be measured in dollars. The vast majority of his autographs are purchased for this reason, by very devoted fans. There is something magical about owning Michaels signature that captures ones imagination and gives a sense of closeness that cannot otherwise be felt except for a meeting in person.



Posters, photos and albums are popular items to find with an autographs. Fortunately, prints can be purchased too. These are very nice, quality duplicates of the original autograph and make very nice keepsakes for those that cannot afford the real deal.

If you are seeking MJ's autograph or any collectible from the late King of Pop, now is the time so find what you need. The market is flooded and there is a huge selection to choose from. Once these items are sold, of course, there will be few available and what is left will command a very hefty price.
