Elvis Week begins this Saturday, and Invaluable is auctioning rare items next Thursday in celebration.
Invaluable, a premiere online auction marketplace, is teaming up with Graceland Auctions to auction 174 lots of collectible Elvis Presley merchandise. This will be the largest and most comprehensive auction yet held on Graceland, according to Ryan Stills who works for Invaluable.
He said, “Whether you are looking for a stage-worn jumpsuit or a piece of 1950s merchandising, a historical document or a rare test pressing, a TCB necklace or a movie artifact, this auction has something for you!”
Starting at 7 p.m., the Auction at Graceland will feature various collectible artifacts including items owned, gifted, written and used by Elvis Presley himself. Promotional items used in his storied career are also up for auction.
Stills provides these following lots as an example of what one can expect at this auction.
Lot 85: Elvis Presley Jacket from the Viva Las Vegas Dance Scene with Ann-Margret
Estimated Price: $30,000 – $50,000
The offered jacket is one of two created by Sy Devore, noted Hollywood wardrobe designer, for Elvis Presley to wear during this now legendary dance scene with Ann-Margret in the 1964 MGM classic Viva Las Vegas.
Lot 118: September 11, 1970 Elvis Presley “In Person” Concert Poster
Estimated Price: $4,000 – $6,000
Used to promote stops on Elvis Presley’s September 1970 tour, these venue-specific posters are few and far between, especially in such an exemplary state of preservation. In true Colonel style, the upper portion, graced by Elvis’ iconic portrait, was kept purposely generic and was printed on lighter weight paper in greater quantities. These could be used or sold anywhere Elvis was touring.
Lot 112: 1970 Elvis Presley Signed Oversized Concert Souvenir Photo
Estimated Price: $2,000 – $4,000
This rare 1970 promotional photo has been signed by Elvis “To Diane Best Wishes Elvis Presley.” Always the conscientious singer, Elvis saw fit to find the lightest area of the photo leaving a very readable result.
