What is the most rare item you guys got?
After seeing this thread appear, it inspired me to unpack some boxes of MJ paraphernalia...
Firstly, this is one of only two officially released MJ live shows ever (the other of course being the heavily-edited Bucharest '92 concert) and is probably one of the rarest items I own.
This is an officially released VHS of Michael's HIStory Tour in Seoul, Korea from October 11th, 1996. This VHS was ONLY released in Korea in early 1997, for a short period of time.
It's worth mentioning that MJJShop was selling a copy of this tape for an unreal 300 Euros as recently as twelve months ago!
Now, I'm aware that this concert has been available online for at least the last eight years, However, due to the MacroVision piracy protection the tape was released with, I can confirm that no version I have ever come across online has the Video/Audio quality of this original VHS! It cost me a fortune to obtain, but I'm glad I did.
I was lucky too, as the tape I received was in almost mint condition!
Next up, I came across my Ghosts VHS and mini-book thing that came with the Deluxe Box set back in '97...I no longer have the box or the cd single of 'On The Line' to complete the set, as these I originally got when I was just 11 years old in '97. Oh, and yeah, that is an original cup from Michael's Dangerous Tour in Santiago, Chile 1993 lol.
I stumbled across this tape as well earlier tonight, It's a French release double VHS of Moonwalker and Victory Tour L.A 1984. Every now and then, it sells on Ebay for a somewhat hefty sum of between US$90.00 - US$160.00.
Lastly, who could forget the classics! haha...
bluetopez, that paperweight is awesome. I'm sure it's very rare and valuable. I found this entry for it on the MJJCollectors site, it doesn't state a value, but says it's official. Just wow!
