The "puppets" are actually the Popsicle sticks used on the Michael Jackson Puppet Theatre skit featured on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and are autographed by the popular TV personality.

The money generated from the auction will go to The Celiac Sprue Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals with Celiac Disease and Dermatitis herpetiformis, of which Olbermann has a mild case.

"This was a great opportunity to help a worthy cause as well as generate some attention," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "We are fans of Countdown and enjoyed the Michael Jackson Puppet Theatre in particular. It was a hilarious satire. When we heard about the eBay auction, it was a done deal."

GoldenPalace.com has become a household name as a result of the enormous media coverage received from such auctions as the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Britney Spears' Pregnancy Test, and Pope Benedict XVI's previously-owned Volkswagen Golf.

Check out MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann tonight for more on GoldenPalace.com winning the Michael Jackson Puppet Theatre auction.
