Presley, Elvis (1935-1977). Rock-n-roll legend whose innovative sound, provocative dancing style, and handsome good-looks captured international attention, not to mention desperately devoted teenage fans. Presley also successfully crossed over into film, starring in 33 movies.
Check Signed ("E.A. Presley"). Partially printed, accomplished in manuscript. 8¼ x 3", Memphis, February 15, 1971. Drawn on his account at the National Bank of Commerce, Memphis. Made payable to Ricky Stanley in the amount of $189.31. In blue ink. Stamped and endorsed by Stanley on the verso. Cancellation stamp on recto which slightly overlays, but does not obscure, the signature. In fine condition.
Printed with Graceland's original address, 3764 Highway 51 South (before that section of Highway 51 was named Elvis Presley Boulevard), the check is made out to Elvis' stepbrother, Ricky, and features the notation "Two Suits" along the left edge. The King's gift-giving is legendary and he always took good care of the "Memphis Mafia" -- among other things, making sure they were dressed to the nines. Checks with Elvis' signature are scarce and this is a great opportunity to own a very rare piece of Elvis memorabilia.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
