The rhinestoned glove Michael Jackson wore during the world premiere of the Moonwalk will be auctioned in New York City this weekend. The King of Pop wore the bejeweled glove — made in Korea — for his 1983 performance of “Billie Jean” at the Motown 25 TV special.

The glove, which is encrusted with Swarovski crystals is expected to fetch between $40,000-$60,000 dollars in an auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan this Saturday.

“We have toured the glove to Asia, Russia. There is a lot of interest, people are flying from all over the world on Saturday,” says Darren Julien of Julien’s Auction. “This was his most historical performance. … It was his first performance of Moonwalk, he performed it in his kitchen at home two nights before,” says Julien.
