Calling on the Elvis experts here. Need some opinions.

I just acquired a large collection of old homemade Elvis Presley scrapbooks. In one, there appears to be the back cover of the 1955 Mr. Rhythm tour program pasted. It looks as though his signature is written in ink on the right side. I do not want to get too excited here until I have some of your opinions. It has the 1955 traits, but not sure. I got it from a guy who’s Mom was obsessed with Elvis and he just wanted to sell the lot of scrapbooks she accumulated. 90% of the items are from the 50’s Thoughts?

Also on the back of this page is hand written a setlist of songs, the ones in which Elvis probably played that night. I assume she attended the concert.

I think the signature has a good shot, but it looks to be the same color as the rest of the photo, like a preprint. Is it?

Hi Steve. No def not a pre-print, It is dark blue ballpoint. The back of this tour program did not contain a pre-printed signature.

Hi Steve,

It must have lost that color difference when the JPG compressed it. If that's the case, then I do think it's got a good chance of being real. I'd get Roger on it.

Steve, how do I get Roger on it again? Thru his website or thru this website? I also found another one in the scrapbook which I am more excited about. Its a page from an old autograph book, and he signed it love ya, but then added 'Stage Show, New York City'. I have never seen one like that before. I will post it soon.
