Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed "King of Pop", has a fan following that few other celebrities have ever acquired. From his early childhood singing with his brothers, the Jackson Five, to his top selling records Thriller and Dangerous, Michael Jackson (MJ) is known to fans the world around, and regardless of all the controversy that has surrounded his life over the past decade, fans and haters alike are collecting MJ memorabilia like never before.

In fact, all the controversy that has surrounded Michael's life over the past few years has actually increased the search for hard to find and rare Michael Jackson memorabilia and collectibles.

The great thing about huge celebrities known the world around, is that regardless of mistakes that they have made in their lives, their fans will always be loyal followers until the very end. Similarly, MJ followers will do their very best to collect and document anything that makes them feel closer to him.

When looking for Michael Jackson collectibles there are many routes that dedicated collectors can take in order to obtain such items. Doing a simple web search for Michael Jackson collectibles will bring up numerous websites, fan clubs, and organizations that are selling or auctioning off such collectibles. However, the problem is that due to the extraordinary fame and obsession with Jackson, many items that are labeled or branded as collectibles are in fact knock-offs or replications of actual memorabilia.

Whenever a celebrity obtains the type of notoriety that a mega star such as Michael Jackson has garnered over the years, forgers and money hungry individuals have created countless knock-off items which they claim are authentic or endorsed by the pop sensation himself. However, the legitimacy of these items are generally questionable.

If you are serious about MJ collectibles then you should do your homework before making random purchases. The first thing you should do is always make sure that any collectible you are about to purchase is legitimate and or is actually endorsed by the pop start himself or his family. The best way to achieve this is to visit Celebrity Memorabilia stores and inquire about any of his collectibles that they may have for sale. You will then want to contact the Better Business Bureau to make sure that the store you are thinking of making a purchase in is approved. You should also search for collectibles that come with a certificate of authentication.

However, you could also contact the organization that created the certificate of authentication and check out their credentials with the Better Business Bureau to make sure that they have professional business practices and a proven reputation of providing authentic memorabilia.

Another great place to search for MJ memorabilia is via Michael Jackson's official website. Any items that are for sale on the celebrity's personal website are generally one hundred percent authentic and proven. This is generally the best method to take when looking for and purchasing Michael Jackson memorabilia and collectibles.
