Michael Jackson Autographed MGM-Disney Jacket
This official embroidered Disney-MGM Studios jacket (From Disney World in Florida), has unusual emotional significance to all Michael Jackson collectors. This was signed by Michael during a promotional tour of the studio, plus the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Center where his "Captain EO" attraction was in full swing. What makes his signature so significant is that at that time (1988), for a time, he signed his infamous "Love Michael Jackson", and then added the date "1998". There are several theories as to why he did this. The most prevalent is that Jackson was once quoted as saying he would die in that year. Moreover, it is reported that a fortune teller told him that by putting that year after his autograph, he would not die. However others believe that he wrote "1998" since he wished that was the year he would start a family, and sure enough, his first child, Paris Jackson was born on April 2, 1998! As was his habit at the time, after the "1998", he also added "three dots and an arrow", as he does here. The significance of which is still a mystery. Either way, having a Michael Jackson signature with both the "1998" and the dots and arrow symbol makes for a magnificent collectable! (Jacket is 100% Acetate. Size M).
