can we see the page in its entirety? 1963 seems weird for Elvis to sign a yearbook but what do I know

I am convinced...

The fact that his father signed too and his uncle and that the gal who owned it lived adjacent to Graceland...the provenance is 100 per cent solid...

When all else fails and if you're still not sure...ask Roger to chime in...

And Mike it doesn't belong to me...a friend bought I recently and sent me a scan...this is all I've got...

Cheers...

I am not convinced either.  With Elvis - Roger is the best.

Hey Mark...perhaps Roger will see this and comment...

Are you and terrier8HOF both a bit uncomfortable around Elvis signatures ??

Cheers...

neither the Elvis or the Vernon are typical.  I do not believe these are authentic, regardless of the story.

Hey...

You gentlemen are most certainly entitled to you opinions...

We wouldn't have it any other way !!

 

Let's see if we can get Roger to take a look...

I don't know Roger but I know of him...

I mean we can't both be right....right ??

I'd be happy with whatever he had to say...

O.K. with you gents ??

Cheers...

Roger Epperson has had a look at this Elvis item and has given it his thumbs up.  Just want to say thank you to Roger for commenting to me via email...   

Also a big thanks to terrier8HOF and to Mark Riberts for taking part in the discussion and letting us know their opinions too...

Thanks guys !!

glad you were able to confirm your beliefs, Don.  Here is what I would have expected a 1963 Elvis auto to look like.  the one in the subject, if someone said mid to late 50's, I probably would have believed.  I just thought this example was atypical of his sixties styles, an example of which is below:
