Rare Elvis Xmas Card, 1959.
By Uncle Monty.
…
In J. Simon's Traditional American

clothing shop on Russell Street at Lon-

don’s Covent Garden, I noticed the Elvis

Xmas card in the window and promptly

recorded it (has shown above) for

all Elvis fans and admirers to see.
…
The Xmas card is rather small and printed on

white card. It seems to be in excellent condition

after close to 50 years since Elvis undoubtedly

sent it perhaps to his friends and his fans. I

suspect the Elvis card is worth quite abit of

money to avid collectors of Elvis memorabilia.

...

Each time I was in Memphis, I was always

struck by the packed crowds still visiting the

Presley Mansion. There, "Elvis The Pelvis"

resided until his 1977 death. From nearby

Mississippi's Tupelo was where "The

King of Rock" was born and reared.

...

I’m not an Elvis Presley fan myself though I

think I understand his draw as a cult figure

and as a rock and roll legend of the world. I

still prefer The Beatles myself, mind you …
...

Christmas cheers, Uncle Monty.

+Christmas Eve, 2oo8.
