Lot #276:

1960s-70s Elvis Presley 21 1/2" x 27 1/2" Signed Promotional Poster - Full JSA Letter & Sticker

It was nearly impossible to get to Elvis Presley as security was always tight around the biggest act of them all.

Through the years Colonel Parker or other handlers frequently signed Elvis' name for him because it would be impossible to keep up with his fan mail and requests for signatures. As his popularity grew, Elvis was shunned from his adoring public.

This 21 1/2" x 27 1/2" color promotional poster depicts Elvis showing off his unmatchable skills. What steals the show is a ballpoint signature of The King with this salutation "To Joyce with love From Elvis Presley." There are red Elvis stamps on the reverse of the poster. We believe this was used in promotion of his music. The lower right corner has "Hear Elvis on RCA Records and Tapes."

The poster was subsequently folded and there is some minor paper loss and handling wear. But we are pleased to report the signature is free of any deficiencies.

Authentication is secured with a full JSA letter and matching certification sticker (X44479).
