On June 19 2009, you would have been able to pick up a King of Pop poster for less than ten dollars. One week on, there would not have been a lot of change from treble the amount. Today, that continues to be the case; and auction sites across the web have seen a huge rises in the placement of adverts for Michael Jackson posters.

Since the tragic death of the man that gave the world the Moonwalk, it is unsurprising that any and all memorabilia connected to Michael Jackson has jumped in value. Fans the world over clamor to have one final memento of the man and his music, whilst others hope their early purchases will increase further in value, as the outpouring continues.

Mindful of where we are economically at the moment, this is only to be expected. Many companies across the world, with exclusive rights for the sole distribution and marketing of Michael Jackson posters, are seeing a welcome boost in sales; which is having an impact on both local and global economies. One such company in the UK has seen sales rocket to two million worldwide in just three weeks.

Despite this additional personnel coming in, with the order book still full and added to daily, working around the clock is very much to be expected through the course of the working week.

Despite Pyramid only holding exclusivity across the United Kingdom; their order book is bursting with sales from the United States and Australia, as well as closer to home European sales, due to their readiness with supply.

The biggest sellers have been the hastily redesigned “This Is It” tour posters. The three commemorative posters were initially produced in celebration of his farewell performances in the O2 Arena in London. That these are now being sold as a final farewell is poignant.

On a global scale, stories like this are replicated, as people are desperate to own their own final images of Michael Jackson.

It is not just the private companies that are making a profit from the untimely death of the King of Pop however. Whilst a high number of fans frantically try to get one final memento; one final celebration of the man, there are an equally significant number seeing the possibility of cashing in on their collections. Indicative not only of his appeal, but also how years of rumor and scandal have tarnished the man once cast in gold.

If you are willing to sell some of your old Michael Jackson posters, or some other memorabilia, it could be a welcome boost to help buy his unreleased music that is set to hit stores in the lead up the Christmas Holiday period this year.
