Let the bidding begin.

We just got word the one of Michael Jackson's iconic gloves will hit the auction block in October...

The white glove, one of two worn by the King of Pop wore during the Victory tour in the early '80s, features dozens of bugle beads and Austrian crystal rhinestones plus 50 small lights powered by a 9-volt battery.

Opening bid for the right-hand accessory will be about $60,000, according to a rep for Profiles in History, the Calabasas, Calif.-based company holding the auction. "Because of huge international interest, it will sell for a great deal more and realistically could approach a million dollars," the rep said.

Jackson gifted the glove to its designer, Ted Shell, in 1986.

The glove will be displayed at the Profiles in History booth at Comic-Con in San Diego later this month.
