Hi I see a lot of knowledgeable collectors here regarding Elvis!  here is my Elvis graph and how I obtained it!  I also like to go to garage sales as another hobby of mine  and I stopped at this garage sale and the man selling stuff  asked me if there is anything I am looking for !  I smiled and said  do you have any autographs!  usually  they say  do you want mine  or something dumb  but  this guy said  yea  wait a minute as he ran into the house and soon after came out with  a dollar signed by elvis !  I  said  where did you get this and he said  he was working security when elvis was in town in the early 70s.  I  then  said  how much do you want  and he said  " I don't know  how about 3 dollars"  I  payed him  for it but always wondered if it was real ?   seems like the graph  is not perfect  but on the other hand  seems crazy that he would  make up such a lie for a few dollars!  please let me know  what you all think =)

Can't support you on this one Rick.

I'm voting NO

thank you Don  -   guess  its good that I only lost a few dollars lol

Sorry, the garage sale guy turned a dollar bill into 3 dollar bills. A different Elvis must have signed this one.

thank you for looking  and saving me money sending it to psa

So he told a tale just to make a $2 profit?  That’s strange.  You would think he’d ask for perhaps $100 just to entice a potential buyer with the possibility of getting a real Elvis for dirt cheap while also getting some decent spending money.  It’s puzzling.  But, I agree, I don’t think it’s real.

Just clowning around a bit, James. Although the Elvis signature is not genuine. Why would someone save an Elvis signature for years to sell it for $3? Or $100 for that matter.

I know this will always puzzle me. It is also a bit hard to find an old dollar like that laying around it is very strange 

Hey, if I didn't know Elvis's signature I would have bought it too. Stranger things have happened. 

I really don’t know.  Or did he really have it for a long time?  I was thinking maybe he just ran into his house and signed it himself quickly.  However, the autograph looks faded.  Plus, it’s a Series 1969 bill, although bills that old are still floating around in circulation.  It’s not all that old.  But what are the chances he’d have ‘69 right there available?  So that suspicion is probably wrong.  So I guess he knew it was fake and just wanted to dump it.

This is not real. Maybe the guy fooled you or not. Be happy that you only loose 3 dollars. 

thank you everyone for the input!!  time for me to look for a real one =)
