At right is the glove Michael Jackson wore when he first introduced the world to the moonwalk in 1983. It’s “the Holy Grail†of Michael Jackson collectibles according to its auctioneer. Obviously, it’s a beauty. But would you pay $350,000 for it? You would if you were Hong Kong businessman Hoffman Ma, who did just that this weekend. The glove will go on display in the Ponte 16 resort hotel and casino in Macau, the Las Vegas of China, which seems pretty appropriate.
