Here was his reply, sorry I misread......supposedly the reporters daugher name was Brenda, or some girl he knew.  I guess he doesnt get the fact that even daughters of "friends of Elvis may simply have been given a secretarial signed photo.......oh well....:

Sir thanks for your note..My uncle Malcolm Adams (deceased)former editor
for the Commercial Appeal was probably the only reporter in Memphis that
actually was a friend of Elvis.  His daughter (Brenda) received numerous
photos of Elvis with and without his signature. Not disputing your
claim..but like I stated I am 99.9% sure Elvis signed this for my uncle to
give to Brenda.  If you check your sources you will see Mack in several
early pics of Elvis, including the one in his uniform at the train station
in Memphis. 
I am currently trying to find Brenda..to get
verification...and another friend, George Klein, will most surely have
several signatures to compare. If the signature is not real I will pull it
from the auction. Thanks again..

This example just sold for $915.

What's happening out there?

I told him to submit the photo to PSA and of course he said he would look into it. People want to own things that under normal circumstances they can't afford. So when a "great price" comes along they love to believe they pulled one over on the seller, getting the deal of the century.

Pathetic really.
