    Well, I just sent the photo to an autograph authenticator by the name of Frank Garo--he told me that it was definitely NOT signed by Elvis.

    Oh well, just as I suspected anyway--just had to be sure!

      im always sceptical of anyone saying "definately"
      did this frank sign it then... or know someone who did?
      how can someone say definately...

      did man definately walk on the moon

      is there definately a god

      im no judge of this "franks" knoledge of his trade

      but in my opinion elvis is the only one who knows for sure if he definately did or did not sign that record
      was frank there?

      the other thing would be to try and trackdown who this sue is.. a bit like finding the holy grail i suppose lol but that would one other way of figuring out the mystery

      what reasons did he give for it not to be authentic?

      plenty of folk knock up fraud autographs... but the price of the record in the 1st place is just to low to be suspect, say like finding a moc aquaman for $1 does that make it a fake..., its an amazing story and great find regardless

      it could very well be fake
      perhaps a 2nd...3rd 4th opinion...

            That is a great find either way.

            I would contact Sotheby's and see if they can recommend someone who is an expert on Elvis Presley memorabilia not an autograph expert.

              You should contact someone who specializes in Elvis memorabilia.

Congrats...and more congrats if that is an actual Elvis signature.
                  My mom found a nice condition Beatles Butcher paste-over at a rummage sale for a quarter..!?! This was back around 1977.

                  I knew immediately since Ringo's blackcollar is 3.5 inches below the 'Y' in 'Today' on the Butcher cover, clearly seen under the pasted trunk cover...


                  Ah, MOMS RULE..!!
