Do you feel like you\’re caught in a trap, one so strong that you just can\’t walk out? Is it because you love Elvis memorabilia too much? I can empathize; my mind doesn\’t grow suspicious when you proclaim your love for all things Elvis. I can see what they\’re doing to you, and I do believe every word you say. Well you are not alone. Collectibles which have anything to do at all with Elvis Presley have been wildly popular for years. They continue today to captivate collectors and Presley fans from around the world.

The gamut of memorabilia runs from the kooky to the esoteric to the sublimely expensive. During a 2009 auction of some of Presley\’s personal possessions, the blue jumpsuit and cape with gold lining that Elvis wore during a 1972 performance at Madison Square Garden fetched more than $210,000. A 14KT gold and diamond ring depicting an owl\’s face was sold for $40,000.

Of course not every piece of memorabilia will be so pricey. Regular checking in at online auction sites as well as retail shops that allow the public to sell their stuff could score you a good deal. Yard sales and garage sales, flea markets, even your own attic could turn up something of value to you.

Authentic autographs and records are two of the more popular pieces of memorabilia. A genuine Elvis signature on an album sleeve, poster, magazine, etc. Can be quite valuable and are usually only found up for auction. Because Presley made so many recordings, the possibilities for collecting albums and 45s are virtually endless. Some people prefer displaying their records rather than actually playing them.

Do you worry that you will be cold on a winter night? Or in a cold Kentucky rain? Do not fear! Elvis has you covered-literally. There is a plethora of bedding, blankets, throws, fleeces, and quilts, featuring the face of The King, to keep you warm. Many times they come in their own collector\’s storage tins. Of course you can\’t forget the pillows. Elvis is on a large number of pillows too. What better way to get a good rest at the airport during a layover than by resting your head on a comfy Elvis travel pillow?

And all generations have Elvis Presley fans. Perhaps your children are some from the newest generation. If so, they would probably love the Elvis lunchbox, like the pink Love Me Tender lunch box complete with matching thermos. Once the homework is done, the family can all enjoy a game of Elvisopoly.

No matter how many pieces you have in your collection, you will likely always feel as though you need something else. A clock is always a good idea. How about an alarm clock with the face of your beloved Elvis on the dial? Or for the more distinguished clock owner, there is a pendulum clock with Elvis\’ legs acting as the pendulums. Something a little more subtle to think about is the Elvis fan cord figurine. Attach it to the fan pull cord and tada! Elvis cools off the room.

There is nothing unreasonable about having a burning love for Elvis memorabilia. Presley was an icon of music culture and still is today. His legend will continue to live for generations to come.
