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.

Memorabilia options are extremely numerous. You can get things that are cute, funny and of course very expensive. At a 2009 auction consisting of items from Elvis' personal stuff, a 14K gold ring with diamonds and the face of an owl sold for $40,000. Also sold to the highest bidder was a blue and gold jumpsuit with cape which Elvis had worn in a 1972 Madison Square Garden concert. This item was bid up to $210,000.

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?

Elvis fans are not limited to any particular age group. Fans of all ages love him. Maybe you have kids who are part of the newest generation of fans. I bet they would like to have their own Elvis lunchboxes. How about the "Love Me Tender" pink lunchbox with thermos to match? After lunch, everyone can enjoy a fun game of Elvisopoly.

If you are having problems rounding out your collection of all things Elvis, then perhaps a close look at non-traditional items is in order. One thing worth a look is the ceiling fan pull figurine. One quick yank on Elvis and voila your room will be as cool as he is. And why not wake up to Elvis? Alarm clocks with his image on the dial face are readily available. For the more discerning fan, you can purchase an upscale pendulum clock with Elvis' legs acting as the pendulums.

There is nothing wrong with a healthy desire for an Elvis collection. I say give me a little less conversation and go out and get yourself some nice pieces to add to what you already have. Elvis Presley was and is a musical icon who will continue to be loved for years to come.
