Universal Express Buys the Largest Collection of Jackson Memorabilia

The largest collection of Jackson family memorabilia (more than 10,000 items)—including album clothing, platinum and gold records, photos, and countless family documents and papers—was sold to Universal Express - www.usxp.com and some of its art partners. Richard A. Altomare, the manager of Universal Express, said the auction date for these memorabilia—worth more than $50 million—will be announced in the future. The Jackson family had gathered more than 10,000 pieces of memorabilia with great care over several decades, intending to decorate their chain restaurants with them. But the fate of these memorabilia turned out differently: after a six-year legal dispute with former partners, the Jackson family lost the items, and it was decided that they would be sold at an auction. This collection of old memorabilia, which includes hundreds of items from each member of the Jackson family, was secretly moved to an unknown location so that it could be displayed after being prepared for the media. The collection also includes original versions of songs that were never released. As a result, because of their extremely high value, the memorabilia are now under 24-hour protection. Altomare adds: “After these memorabilia were confirmed and through legal steps, thankfully I was ultimately able to purchase this collection.” According to him, these opportunities only knock once at your door, and with the abundant money obtained from selling such memorabilia, you can strengthen the economic foundation of a business company. And of course, perhaps releasing and auctioning these private memorabilia will help people understand what was going on behind the scenes in the Jackson family—and especially to understand Michael’s personality, which apparently makes everyone happy, because it’s a door into the pure and innocent world of Michael’s lost childhood.
