Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not. Seamed right but, it seams that most of the posts here are pointing to things that are for sale not personal collections.
Anywho, for a lack of knowing where to post this I am giving it a shot here!
I finally got some pictures of my favorite MJ memorabilia that I currently have. I had to sell most of every thing I owned that was worth anything after my accident in 2008. I even sold (for $60) my MJ "Beat It" 12" doll. I had to help my wife with the bills. She had just graduated from Nursing school and just got her license to be an LPN and I was now disabled with my wife and 4 kids to care for. So, had to sell MJ and Star Wars, my guns my guitars, my family heirloom jewelry and my art work. Anything that was worth at least $50 or more.
So, now that things are back on track I have been able over the past year to get some things that i have been wanting even since my childhood. Namely, I have ALWAYS wanted a real "Beat It" jacket. So, I was able to have a "Beat It" jacket custom made. It is real cow hide leather. That way it will last a life time. It has real metal mesh shoulders. It is picture perfect! I love it and I always get complements when I wear it. People seem to be excited about it and enjoy seeing it just as much I do wearing it. Course, your going to get some looks when you show up in a big 18.3 foot 1983 Lincoln and step out with a bright red MJ jacket! LOL! :smilerolleyes:
I also, was able to find the right size "Beat It" shoes made by Osiris! They look just like the jacket! They have the zippers in the right areas to give the right look and they have real metal mesh to look like the shoulders on the jacket.
They are also VERY comfortable. For a fella that had only ever worn Adidas Superstars (you know, the ones that RunDMC wore) I am really impressed with these Osiris shoes and already have my eyes on a pair of black and silver ones that look just like the Billie Jean costume.
Finally, in the picture I am also wearing my glove. It is not a golf glove but still a decent glove with real crystal beads on it. So, it has some weight to it.
My son and daughter wanted to jump in on a few pictures too!
He was suppose to be looking at the camera and doing his cool guy pose be then decided to do a karate pose at the last second
Here is my daughter who is just as big a fan as I am.
And my shoes:
I have some other stuff. Like cassette tapes and pre-awards Thriller album. Stuff like that. Figured y'all have seen plenty of that kind of stiff. Thought the shoes and jacket would be some thing cool to post about that ya don't see everyday. Well, maybe people out side of the MJ community does not see everyday! LOL!
