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.
It is not just auction sites and their members where people are profiting however. Many poster distributors and retailers are welcoming the extra business, despite the tragic circumstances that have triggered it. A small company, Pyramid International in the UK, have had to take on extra staff to cope with demand.
The extra staff at Pyramid International has been to simply sort through the orders coming in; and even then it has been necessary for staff to come in at the weekend to ensure prompt processing.
A study of this company is interesting: Averaging sales of just 10, 000 Michael Jackson posters annually, they were hoping for a substantial increase with the "This Is It" tour taking place in the UK this summer. Sales have far outstripped even the most generous estimations however, with orders coming from across the globe.
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.
Many of us had Michael Jackson posters in our youth; but may have lost interest in the star. It could be worthwhile looking in storage to see if you have any old posters about. It may just be worth it.
Whilst some fans may have neglected the singer, loyal fans and a younger generation are still in the majority. This fuels the trade and pushes prices even higher than their market value. Whilst they come to market very infrequently, the search is still very much on for the elusive Michael Jackson posters, in mint condition, personally signed by The Thriller, The Moonwalker and the little boy from Gary, Indiana.
