franc..
im not saying that there isnt a bit of a frenzy as the purchase at
amazon (and im sure other retailers of photos, t shirts, buttons,
etc) are showing an upswing in sales of these items... i was simply
saying that just because someone might have some run of the mill
jackson poster put away --his death does now not mean that same
poster will sell for 10 or 20x what it would have sold for last
week. sure, personalized or autographed items will fetch a higher
price.. but not some poster, produced in the 10's of thousands, that
one would buy to tack onto their wall or bedroom door.

memorabilia, I'd try to sell it now. FRANC

LATER? (heritage)
Unless items were signed by Jackson, or were owned (provenance), or
perhaps affiliated with him in some direct way... all the thousands
of mediocre posters, pictures, images, buttons, t shirts, etc are
NOT going to jump dramatically in price, because of his passing.
the sheer quantity and availability will keep prices mostly what
they were.
will there be increases in merchandise sold? of course. amazon said
sales of MJ cds and dvds went up 700% in the 24 hours since he
passed away. it doesnt mean that his cds and dvds are suddenly
selling at 50.00 or 100.00 a piece.
same will be true of the massive amounts of materials mentioned above.

So:
What should I, a responsible, civilized dealer do?
About a year ago I found a beautiful condition CBS Records point-
of-promotion
poster for THRILLER. It says MICHAEL JACKSON, but it is not a
commercially prepared
dorm-room type poster. It's a CBS Records poster. Should I sell
this? And if so what for?

Heritage's comment on their facebook page today:
Values of Michael memorabilia could jump 2-3 times According to
our experts here, prices for Jackson memorabilia could
significantly jump in the coming days and weeks. “One example of
this is a Michael-signed Thriller RIAA platinum award that
Heritage sold at auction last October for $1,195,” said Doug
Norwine. “If that same lot came up for auction today it would
easily get $4,000-$5,000."
Thought that was interesting and on-topic somewhat
