With the world still reeling at the sudden loss of pop sensation Michael Jackson, I figure a little fan service is in order for today's eBay Prop-Watch. A caveat first though: although this item comes from a certified eBay Power Seller, the auction description does not include any mention of a certificate of authenticity. Still, it's a fun piece of movie ephemera to gawk at. You just might not want to shell out the $749.99 opening bid price.
What bit of Jackson history demands such a high price, you ask? Captain EO's jumpsuit perhaps? Scarecrow's hat from "The Wiz"? Nope. If you recognize where the above image comes from, then you've already narrowed down today's pick at least a little bit. Keep reading to find out what it is.
I've never actually seen "Moonwalker," but the auction description says that this prop is seen in the "speed demon" scene. It looks like the sort of thing that would be right at home in "Footloose," except those are clearly Jackson's moonwalking feet crossed out in the image.
The sign apparently comes from "a crew member who worked on the movie," but there's obviously no way to be certain. This particular auction is only a few hours away from closing, though I'm guessing not too many of your were planning on jumping for it anyway. Real or not though, this is a cool little auction to salivate over.
