"We have what is probably the most significant piece, not only of Michel Jackson, but pop culture history, and that is the red 'Thriller' jacket. It really is an amazing piece. It comes from his designers, Tomkins & Bush. And they are donating a generous portions of the proceeds to benefit Tippi Hedren's Animal Refugee. Which is actually where Michael Jacksons animals from Neverland Ranch are kept, including tiger, Thriller. So, it is very appropriate that a lot of the proceeds are going to benefit her foundation."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Darren Julien/President and CEO of Juliens Auctions:
"The 'Thriller' jacket, you know, it's hard to put a value on something as priceless as this. So, it really is a piece that belongs in a museum. It is one of those items, that if a museum had it on display, you would make the money back in attendance. People would come in from all over the world to see it. So, we estimate it to two to 400 thousand dollars, but then the sky is the limit. We anticipate that it could sell from half-a-million, to a million dollars."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Darren Julien/President and CEO of Juliens Auctions:
"If people don't want to participate in the auction, or can't afford to, they can at least come down to Beverly Hills and see the items in person for free. And we have scheduled it right around the anniversary of his passing. Because we have a lot of fans that are coming in that really would never get a chance to see some of these items in person. And it is our annual auction that we do, so we schedule it the day after, which is June 26th."

STORYLINE
MICHAEL JACKON'S THRILLER JACKET UP FOR AUCTION
The jacket Michael Jackson wore in his "Thriller" video is hitting the auction block.
Auction administrator Darren Julien says the red and black leather jacket is "the most recognized and significant piece of pop culture" to come up for sale, and he expects it to fetch at least $200,000 at the Music Icons auction on June 25 and 26 at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills.
Jackson autographed the jacket as a gift to his longtime costume designers, Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush. He wanted them to use the small calfskin jacket as a template for his future concert fashions.
A portion of the proceeds from its sale will benefit the Shambala Preserve, where Jackson's two Bengal tigers, Thriller and Sabu, have been living since the pop star left his Neverland ranch in 2006.
Other Jackson items up for sale include the wig he wore when he announced his ill-fated "This Is It" concert series in London, a fedora and spangled glove he wore on stage, his shirt from the "Scream" video and the battered mailbox from the Carolwood Drive estate where Jackson died at age 50 in 2009.
The collection will be on view free to the public from June 13 to 25 at Julien's Auctions Gallery in Beverly Hills.
