Poster: Colonel Tom Parker Oversized Poster Signed and Inscribed to The McCombs Lot 135
Seller's Estimate: USD 500 - 1,000
Roy and Janelle McComb lived in Tupelo, Mississippi, where Elvis was born, and were life-long friends of the Presley family, having known Elvis since he was just a child. So close was Janelle McComb to the Presleys that she became the longtime director of the Elvis Presley Memorial Foundation. The McCombs were a big part of Elvis' life and therefore the Colonel's as well. Janelle spearheaded the renovations of Elvis' birthplace after his death, with help from the Colonel, the Presley family and RCA. The offered poster, a larger-than-life head shot of a scruffy-bearded, cigar-smoking, cowboy hat-wearing Colonel has a printed signature "Sincerely The Colonel" in the lower right corner. The Colonel has personally penned an inscription above: "To my good friends Mr. and Mrs. R McComb, Janelle to all of us, The Colonel." This sepia-toned poster measures 21 by 25 inches (53.34 x 63.5 cm) and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
