Valuable Memorabilia

Much of the news lately has been about the death of Michael Jackson. I'm not going to either slander him or praise him.

Much has been made that he was 50 (Really? Who would have thought?), and that there were many strange incidents in his life. Most people are ending on what they they think is an ironic tone, that it is too bad that the death happened now, when he was about to embark on a large tour that would have been his return to somewhat normality. They point out that he was still popular, in that the tour consisted of fifty sold-out concerts.

His death, before they even started, is sure to make those tickets valuable pieces of memorabilia. Except for one final irony: there are fifty sold-out concerts of them! What should have been a rare, valuable thing is now only mildly interesting.
