This is the only picture available. I checked the date of the Louisiana Haystack Event and Elvis performed on March 3, 1955 so it coincides with the date on the paper.

Needs better pics, front and back. The date says March 17, 195(?). The last digit isn't a 5. I think it has a decent shot at being real. Enough to pay for Roger with better pics. Is it over $100?

Steve, because of the condition or because it seems to good to be true?

Better photos are needed but I think it could be real. But the condition is so poor that I think it's not even worth a few hundred. I don't think it's a reasonable candidate for restoration either.

Thanks, Steve. I just hope its not one of those items that are deliberately damaged to make buyers believe its old and authentic and help conceal the signature. Seen alot of those where corners are cut, paper is wrinkled, tape is added etc.

The autograph looks like it's in a little better condition in this photo, doesn't it? And it sure looks real to me. If you can get it for a price you think it's worth (I'll leave that to you) I'd get an opinion from Roger before you buy.

Thanks, Steve. I'm starting to believe it's real too. The ink looks aged and actually looks blue now not black. I will consider Roger for the final word. Thanks, again.

If it is indeed real, it is very rare since only very few exist because Elvis stopped adding that phrase fearing female fans might file paternal claims.
