Michael Jackson's famous white glove sold for $350,000 at a memorabilia auction Saturday, soaring far past pre-sale estimates, while a black jacket he wore during a 1989 world tour fetched $225,000. The Jackson memorabilia was the highlight of an auction of hundreds of rock'n'roll items, including many not associated with the “King of Pop,” who died in June. With the added commission, the final price excluding taxes, ran to some $420,000. The buyer was Hong Kong businessman Hoffman Ma. Bidding for the black, strap and zipper-laden jacket Jackson wore during the 1989 “Bad” tour soared to $225,000, more than 20 times its estimate. With commission, the tab came to about $275,000. Fans and dealers turned out at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York's Times Square for the sale that included a car driven by Jackson, as well as David Bowie's guitar. The glove was worn by Jackson when he first staged the famous moonwalk dance at the 1983 Motown 25 television special. The opening bid of $10,000 leaped immediately to $120,000 before peaking at $350,000.
