Can't really get a good look at it but from what I can see there is a lot right about it...

Thanks for the larger photo, Marcay. I don't think that Elvis signed that.

I don't think Elvis signed either of those, too.

Marcay, I don‘t think that this is real. I have my doubts. And the similar items are not really similar I think. But lets see what others say.

I am no Elvis expert but have been doing quite a bit of research after my recent post of my Elvis signature.  There always seems to be a tremendous amount of debate regarding his autograph.  In my research, and in listening to the "experts" of Elvis, it is my understanding that the "L" in Elvis is "always" higher than the "E". Not sure if any experienced Elvis people on here follow that rule of thumb or can confirm or deny this but I would love to hear their input.  If that is truly the case, then the signature in the original post would lose on that count alone.  Hopefully, others can give their opinions here...

I agree that the "L" in Elvis is higher. I've also found that, in many cases, the "E" has a somewhat exaggerated slant toward the "L". I guess there is no 100% rule except when it comes too Elvis, it's best to evaluate extremely conservatively.

I'm not an elvis expert but IMO, the 'l' is off, the "P" is off, the 'A' in "Allen" is strange, and even the "T" in "To Allen" looks off to me.

Further, it looks forced, rigid, practiced, and shaky, and the paper looks like it was artificially "aged" and then the ink applied, instead of the other way around.

Was I to be shopping for an Elvis sig, I wouldn't even consider this one for those reasons.
