I’m celebrating Michael Jackson’s birthday by sharing with you some of the fun stuff in my Michael Jackson collection.
The youth of today hear music via inferior-sounding MP3s. When I was a kid, we cut records out of the back of cereal boxes. I miss the warm sound cardboard provides.
Rub ’em here! Rub ’em there! Rub ’em EVERYWHERE! Ages 3 and Up
I should have wiped the shmutz off of this promotional paperweight before I took the picture. Oh well.
Trading cards are not for trading. They are for hoarding.
Promoting their sponsorship of The Jacksons’ Victory tour, Pepsi issued cans of the soft drink that came with the brothers’ autographs and a dismembered hand.

Hi
Do you sell the Spanish HIStory Invitation? I have the VHS and boxset from Spain with black and purple.
Thanks
Hi Nick. Thanks for checking out my blog.
I wasn’t planning on selling the HIStory invitation. Interestingly, you’re the second person this week who asked about it.
I take it you collect MJ memorabilia. Is your collection displayed anywhere?

Contacted you on Facebook. Hope we can talk there about this and my collection.
