On May 30 and 31, Guernsey’s Auction House will be auctioning off the collection of The Jackson Family’s
personal belongings. The Jackson’s Auction will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Michael has been very adamant in his displeasure that so many personal items are included in this sale.

The collection is a vast array of unique and personal items that were acquired by the Universal Express company. It is said to be giving a portion of the proceeds to charities that are as yet unnamed.

In the sale catalogue, is written “The collection contains thousands of items from the ‘King of Pop’ and his talented siblings from as far back as their first appearances as The Jackson Five on through the early 1990’s. Fabulous stage costumes and personal clothing, props and instruments, awards, gold records and paper ephemera (from performance contracts and unpublished photographs to handwritten music), on to items given to Michael and his brothers and sisters by other legendary entertainers and sports superstars make up only a portion of this unprecedented collection.”

The entire collection can be seen at the Live Auctioneers Website that will provide live online bidding.
