Ugh. Now that I think of it, I can def see Vernon signing MOST of the checks as he did a lot of the bill paying and him and Elvis agreeing to the “E.A. Presley” as a way to make it easier for Vernon to sign Elvis’s name.

Reckon I have to side with the naysayers here...

Having said that, these checks still command top dollar as they are “real” Elvis checks so they are still colectable regardless of who “signed” them

Having them authenticated, advertised and auctioned as "Elvis signed checks" by Graceland is not helping much...

Tru Dat

As you said, Larry, a check signed by Elvis can bring $4,000-$5,000.

But a check signed by Vernon is more like $250.

Indeed... just wonder how often Vernon would write E.A. Instead 

“Elvis never liked to sign checks. Vernon signed the checks.” Lamar Fike

When I went to Graceland last yr they had those signed E.A. Presley checks , they were done in pencil however

For me he didn't even know how to go to piss alone. And i was a fan of Elvis and I had a signed check... Now i think that this man is a "fake" in all!!

thank you for sharing an opinion that we did not request.  Not sure what it has to do with autographs, however.

Hard to believe that the autographs of Elvis are real and genuine if the person wasn't real but only a toy of other people... This is the point! 

Lamar does not say explicitly that Vernon forged Elvis's signature does he?

And that surprises me because it was Lamar who worked ever-so-closely with Albert Goldman. True historians know that the late Albert Goldman is the man who wrote the tell all biography on Elvis in 1981.

Lamar laid a dead Elvis bare by telling Goldman of Presley's worst very worst habits including tales of often having to clean up and cover up when Elvis was soiling the bed with his excrement on more than one occasion.

I would have quite rightly expected Lamar Fike - who spilled his guts on Elvis in 1981 - no holds barred - to have uttered the words ... "and Vernon forged his sons name on thousands of checks over the years."

But I've never read that nor heard it anywhere. 

Food for thought... 

 

So you're trolling. Get lost.
