Not authentic. I have never seen an Elvis "P" like that. And the second "l" slants too far to the right. Furthermore, the "y" squiggles. That looks strange to me.

Ok, thanks.

This one has some  characterise for being an early signature , his "P" and "Y" written this way is very common in his early signatures ( 50s).

But I´am still concerned about this one, I wouldn´t buy.

I think this one needs Roger.  Like Max, I see some similarities of the 1954-55 signatures, but not enough to buy it.  Needs the expert.

Here are three from the '55-'56 era that match up quite nicely with this one

I´am getting a bit afraid now..there´s a Russian seller on eBay selling many Elvis autographs...usually they sell for below market value....then buyers relist them with third part authentication....I honestly think the experts are being fooled by the work of this source....and I think we´re wittnessing work of very skilled forger....the one in the middle of those Roger posted comes from that source sold recently (1-2) months ago...the ageing of the paper, if carefully looked  at the ink it all looks and feels odd IMO...it´s worth an investigation...this might be a Hans Bakker contender but smarter
