Elvis Presley Signed Check. Signed by Elvis, for a fan on July 2, 1957, along Highway 51 North in Mississippi. Elvis and a friend were riding their Harley's, stopping at farms, asking to buy white ducks so they could be taken to roam his recently purchased mansion...Graceland. The two giddy girls were invited to Graceland for the following day. Sadly that day brought news, of the death of Judy Tyler, co-star to Elvis, in Jailhouse Rock and the plans were naturally cancelled.
