Michael Jackson Bad Multi Platinum Sales Award Display Appraisal

Michael Jackson 'Bad' Multi-Platinum Sales Award Display

This item is a framed multi-platinum sales award commemorating Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album. It features a prominent silver-colored record disc, likely a representation of a platinum record, centrally placed in the display. The record's label clearly shows 'Michael Jackson' and 'BAD' along with a tracklist. Above the main record, there are five smaller rectangular plaques, each showing an image of Michael Jackson from the 'Bad' era and indicating sales milestones: '1 MILLION', '2 MILLION', '3 MILLION', '4 MILLION', and '5 MILLION'. Below the main record, a rectangular metallic plaque is engraved with an inscription: 'PRESENTED TO GARY GRANT TO COMMEMORATE THE SALE OF MORE THAN 5 MILLION COPIES OF THE EPIC RECORDS ALBUM CASSETTE AND CD "BAD"'. To the right of this plaque, there is a design featuring a 'P' logo, likely associated with platinum certification. Further below, a silver-colored compact disc (CD) and a silver-colored cassette tape are mounted, representing the different formats of the album. Another small rectangular image of Michael Jackson with '6 MILLION' is visible below the plaque, suggesting an even higher sales milestone. The entire arrangement is set against a dark, possibly black, background and framed within a sleek, metallic (likely silver-colored) frame behind clear protective glass or acrylic. The item appears to be in excellent condition with no visible damage, wear, or repairs, reflecting its status as a commemorative award. Its design adheres to the typical presentation of RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) or similar music sales awards from the late 1980s or early 1990s, given the 'Bad' album's release in 1987. The craftsmanship is professional, consistent with official industry awards, signifying the high achievement of the album.
