Elvis signed in 1956

Bought this from a local lady quite a few years ago who says she got this in person in August of 1956 in Tampa,Fl. I have since looked it up and he was in Tampa in August 1956. What do you all think?

Hi Andrew....Nice item !!!

Elvis did 2 shows in Tampa on Sunday August 5 1956.

He performed to sell out audiences at the armory at 3 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.

Funnily enough the next night he was in Lakeland Florida and I knew a lady,

a local newspaper reporter who interviewed him there just one night after he signed your autograph !

Yours is in pencil yes ?? Looks very good !

Hey that's right ! Next month is the 60th anniversary. August the 5th this year is on a Friday.

Maybe a little quiet celebration ??

She went to the concert for her 14th Birthday and she gave me a detailed letter as how her brother got it for her that same day. I believe tickets were a whopping $1.25 or if you were a big spender $1.50
