Help With Elvis Presley Auto (Ghost Signers)

[MooseDog]

Thank you Richard and Dave for the opinions. As I said, I didn't think it was Elvis either. It would still be nice to find out if maybe Charlie Hodge signed it. The return receipt itself is 100% genuine as is the postmark.

I purposefully left out the postmark so as not to influence because of the date.

Elvis died the following day.

Nope thats not Elvis....for the record after over 3 decades buying and selling autographs there are some that I ALWAYS avoid unless I am 100% absolutely certain they were signed IN-PERSON and they are ELVIS, THE BEATLES (except for maybe Ringo) , HUMPREY BOGART, SONNY LISTON (I know the difference between his and his wife's signature and have written a couple signature studies on Sonny but his real autograph is just too easy to replicate), MUHAMMAD ALI, WALT DISNEY, JFK, LBJ, and there are probably a couple others but there are people who specialize in just those names and sometimes even they get it wrong. Best to just walk away from the above unless the source is rock solid

Even if Elvis didn't sign it, if that's a legitimate Elvis item that's an awesome piece.
