QUESTION: I can call you later in the week. But first a follow-up question, if you don't mind. Mom knew Elvis and he ask her
and several other friends to come and show support that night. Mom stood back stage while Elvis sang and was there while he talked with Slim and Sam. Mom also has a damaged picture taken that night. Would that add value to the ticket?

Answer
Cynthia,

The picture could add value to the autograph. You have a unique piece of history considering it being from the Overton Park Shell.

You have my number, call me when you can. Also, you can E-Mail me at ElvisExpert@aol.com

Thanks again,
