Elvis Presley Museum Original Negative Photo & Steel Printing Plate for the Elvis Presley Museum Stationery W/COA & Sample Stationery - This lot is the original negative photo and printing plate used to create the personalized stationery for the Elvis Presley Museum Stationery. The negative photo shows a collage of three different photos of Presley, and was used to create the steel plate that was then used to print the custom stationery. The lot also includes two pieces of the 8.5" x 11" stationery, and certificate of authenticity. The steel plate is framed, and the piece measures 9.5" x 12". The Elvis Presley Museum was created by Elvis's friend of twenty two years, Jimmy Velvet. Jimmy met Elvis in 1955, when he was 15 and Elvis was 20, at the Hank Snow Show at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. During the early 1960's, Velvet worked in music management, and also toured as a musician with the Jimmy Velvet Show Band. After Elvis Presley's death, Jimmy remained very close with the Presley family, and obtained many items from "Graceland", the estate of Elvis Presley. Velvet created the Elvis Presley Museum, four years before Graceland opened its doors to the public. Velvet owned and was President of the museum, and amassed the largest authentic collection of artifacts owned by Elvis Presley in the world. Velvet was named "The Godfather of Memorabilia" by Rolling Stone magazine, and has appeared on television shows such as Pawn Stars, Entertainment Tonight, and others.
