Elvis Memorabilia On The Auction Block

Wondering what to get that obsessed Elvis fan for Christmas? If you have deep pockets, you may want to check out the auction being held this Sunday by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. Over 200 items - from photos to autographs to sweat-stained clothes - will be auctioned off. The headline item, though, seems to be a clump of Elvis' hair. There's no projection for how much the hair will go for, but a few years back a similar clump sold for $115,000. We're betting Blago really wishes he had that kind of money right about now. Check out all the items being auctioned. Many of the items come from "Gary Pepper Collection of Elvis Presley Memorabilia"; Pepper ran an Elvis fan club and eventually befriended Presley.
