 Thanks Roger.I have been going over these 3 ALL night trying to figure it out.Was really hoping to hear different but at least I only paid $1 for the one I found yesterday and got the other 2 for free so I'm only out a buck.I saw some similarities to certain known exemplars especially the bottom of the 'L' where it goes to a point into the v but the 'E'  kinda made me think he mighta been at a weird angle when signing .The ink pen really does look aged so I had some hopes.

Sorry, Benjamin, but these are all pretty rough. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't malicious forgeries, but were done by the Elvis fan who owned the piece (or perhaps gave it as a gift). 

Wish you had better luck--there's a never ending demand for Elvis autographs.

Yeah Steve I was really banking on at least 1 of them being a maybe!LOL Like I was sayin I only have a buck into them so I figure I will just keep digging.I do have quite a few signed albums that I have found digging but nothing as cool as an Elvis!Mostly Big Band and Jazz but a handful of classic rock and hair metal and a few country.Most are personalized so pretty hard to get rid of so I just end up hanging onto them.Thanks again for your input!One day I will find a diamond in the rough!

Hi Benjamin,

If you ever (or have ever) run into items signed by blues/jazz guitar players and are interested in selling, shoot me a line. I have a great number in my collection, but im always looking to expand.

Take care

Carl

Hi Carl,

   I am interested in selling pretty much everything i have collected at this point.LOL I need to stop buying so much crap since I don't have room in my small apt.I am not sure how to go about listing all of my signed albums on here.I have a few crates full of different ones I have bought at the record stores around here.I also have some mixed in with my other records and also quite a few that I have bought off Ebay or from craigslist etc.So far the few items I have put up that I had  questions about got shot down so I definitely have hesitations about selling if they are the lest bit iffy but I do need to downsize this stuff.  .Most of them are personalized or are people I have never heard of.I can maybe put together a list for you to check out or maybe email pics of them.Let me know and i can try and get a list together. Thanks, Ben
