AFTER NINE YEARS, THE ELVIS TRADING CARDS ARE GONE!






Had these since before my Auntie Emma died in 2012, that's her in the photo next to me and an Elvis impersonator on my 40th birthday, 9/9/99. Somehow I had gotten on the topic of Elvis with Roger Trexler about Elvis and he said he'd want the binder. I kept two cards, one from HARUM SCARUM! where he looks like a member of ISIS. Another where he wears a cool jacket from SPEEDWAY. I still had room in the box, so he got an old guide I had on werewolf movies, and a glass that has a squid on it, some other doo-dads that weren't worth taking photos of, and that little package I found at a seedy gas station. ead the ingredients. Caterpillar Fungus. SWAG in the SWAG bag.
