London: The 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley's 1994 marriage certificate is all set to go under the hammer in New York.
The certificate, which bears both the celebrities signature, was issued on May 26, 1994 following their brief wedding ceremony in the Dominican Republic, a music website reported.
Jackson's highly publicised marriage to Rock n Roll king Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa, lasted until 1996.
The certificate will go up for auction at an estate sale in New York in January next year (2010) and auctioneer Philip Weiss hopes that it will fetch a good amount due to an increased interest in the 'King of Pop' since his sudden death in June.
"Anything relating to Michael Jackson is of extreme interest right now because of his untimely death and the release of the movie (This Is It)," Weiss said.
"But when you have an item that combines his name and legend with the Presley name and legend - their marriage certificate no less - with both of their signatures on it, you've got something that's almost impossible to predict what it will bring at auction," he added.
Jackson memorabilia continues to fetch good money. A portrait of Jackson by legendary artist Andy Warhol sold for US $812,000 at an auction in Los Angeles recently.
