Elvis items could make millions
The king of rock and roll will have several of his personal items auctioned off at Heritage Auctions’ Ultimate Elvis Signature Action this month.
With over 300 items up for auction, the overall sale is expected to make millions.
Margaret Barrett, director of entertainment and music memorabilia at Heritage Auctions, said:
“Elvis remains one of the most popular and durable figures in American Pop Culture. This auction, our second event totally dedicated to Elvis, is a celebration of his amazing life and legacy.
“From autographs and signed documents, rare concert posters and photos, personally owned jewellery and clothing, recordings and a variety of memorabilia, fans of Elvis will all have an opportunity to bid on their favourite pieces.”
A library card, signed by the rock and roll legend when he was just 13 is expected to sell for more than $3,500 (£2,200).
One item that is expected to fetch over $30,000 (£19,000) is an Elvis Presley 1954 Eagles Nest original hand-painted concert poster.
