Tips to Help You Buy an Authentic Elvis Autograph.
Tips to Help You Buy Authentic Elvis Presley Autograph - Elvis Autograph - Elvis Signature

Celebrity autographs have become big business at auctions and online. Since the launch of eBay many fans have been duped by unscrupulous sellers of Elvis collectibles.  This report offers fans an insight on what to look for when buying any celebrity autograph. Most importantly - before you bid on any item ask the seller to verify his/her description statement. The history of How - Where - When the seller acquired the particular autograph. The history of the autograph will indicate whether or not the item is authentic.

Elvis autographs are probably the most common counterfeit item on sale at eBay.com. Elvis signature is very difficult to authenticate because there are so many variations in the way Elvis signed his name in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. Below are a few examples of authentic Elvis signatures. 

Beware of autographs signed in gold or silver. Felt pens did not go on sale until after Elvis' death 

Whenever considering buying an Elvis autograph, please insist on the history and background of how the owner came by the autograph. When - Where - How? Always ask if Elvis signed the item in person. It is a well know fact that during the 1970's many fans gave the members of the Memphis Mafia items to be signed at Elvis concerts or at the Graceland Gates.  These minders have since admitted that they could fake Elvis signature and signed most of the items themselves. The history holds true for fans that sent requests for autographs by mail to Graceland. Elvis' secretaries admit openly that they could forge Elvis signature and did on many occasions.

Again, if you have any questions regarding any Elvis autograph or collectable on ebay fans are welcome to contact me at the Help Desk for FREE. I am pretty good at spotting a fake Elvis signature. However, please offer me a scanned image and the history behind the item in question. As sight unseen I cannot offer an educated opinion.   

As I do offer Elvis Autograph authentication for FREE to all Elvis fans while others charge a $100    A token PayPal donation would certainly help to cover the cost of my labor of love
Thank You

It has come to my attention that there are books for sale on how to spot a 'fake' Elvis autograph. However, several fans who have purchased these books find only pictures of 'fake' and 'real' autographs with no information. Save your money! The only way anyone can spot a 'fake' or 'real' signature is by seeing the specific example of the autograph in question. Although some 'fake' autographs are obvious -  only the human-eye can detect the 'fake' from the 'real' of a particular example of Elvis' handwriting.  BEWARE OF RE-PRINTS. Most common example of Elvis autograph that was printed is on the scarves that Elvis throw to the crowd at concert. The signature on these are printed NOT handwritten - unless of course the fan can prove that Elvis personally signed the item.
