A Peek Inside Michael Jackson's Cabinet of Curiosities

Timing is everything.
Luckily for Michael Jackson, there's never been a better economic climate in which to unload a gently used portrait of the artist surrounded by various cultural and historical figures, each donning the Thriller maestro's trademark shades and Swarovski-encrusted white glove.
Right?
The painting, which is expected to fetch somewhere in the vicinity of $600, is one of 2,000 items from the financially strapped singer's personal collection set to be auctioned off this spring.
In anticipation of the four-day fire sale, beginning April 22, Julien's Auctions has revealed the catalog of the eclectic bounty for would-be gawkers buyers.
Among the choicer oddities up for grabs: The razor-handed gloves Johnny Depp sported in Edward Scissorhands ($4,000-$6,000); a golf cart complete with Peter Pan-emblazoned cushions and, the pice de rsistance, an image of Jacko-as-Pan on the hood, ($4,000-$6,000); a basketball signed by Michael Jordan ($800-$1,200); an original canvas painting by pal Macaulay Culkin (a steal at $200-$300); and potentially oddest of all-a particularly tall order given its company-a vintage sepia photograph of Roddy McDowall inscribed, "To Estelle, In appreciation for all the lovely things you have done for me."
