Re: Juliens Auction Dec 2 - The Collection of Tompkins and Bush Auction
Thank You VERY much for this post...it explains a little better about the costumes on loan from the Estate and how MB does not own everything that is on display. And your RIGHT alot of these buyers will want to put the pieces in a museum somewhere, I was so upset about this whole topic because I guess it was more about "WHERE" Michael's clothes were going to end up rather than the money..I know my posts were full of..."well what is he going to do with the other 95%.? But for some reason after reading THIS post here...it gave me peace inside...don't know why..it just did....maybe I was looking for an answer . Not saying that I still like this auction..because I don't..and if I could stop it before it happens...I would. ,,but I can't, At this point whatever Mr Bush does with the rest of the money I have so say over. I do want to state though I still WON"T be buying his book and I am STILL mad at him for auctioning off this stuff..imo...he should still just be putting them in a museum himself.
I think Not all items being presented are going to be auctioned.
Karen fayes stated Many of these costumes MLB has on display belong to the estate. Most likely on loan from the Estate. I believe these will be returned to the Estate and not auctioned off. Lets not forget many of these costumes also have doubles. MJ had more than one of each costume made. Much of what MJB is auctioning is signed by Michael as a gift to MLB and not an item he was specifically saving to put in a museum.
But in the end the Majority of MJ costumes and wardrobe will end up in what ever museum is built. Once the estate is out of probate and ready to persue that avenue. Many serious buyers are proud to place their items in museums - with "donated by plaques" .. they want them seen and protected - not hidden in their closets.
