Graceland is questioning the authenticity of some of the late singer's memorabilia offered for sale by an auction house, including a jacket. Elvis Presley's widow, Priscilla Presley, has filed a lawsuit against the auction house. NBC News' Chloe Melas reports.
When Graceland boss Joel Weinshanker discovered that an auction house was planning to sell one of Elvis’ old jackets, he was immediately suspicious. The black grommet jacket was a one-of-a-kind item worn by Elvis in 1972, Weinshanker, managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, said. But the thing was, that very jacket was hanging up in Graceland’s private collection.
Thanks to Elvis’ aversion to cash and his father Vernon’s meticulous record-keeping, the operators of Graceland say they have an extraordinary window into his purchases and day-to-day activities. “Because he had some trouble with the law early on in his adult life, he kept everything, every receipt,” Weinshanker said of Vernon Presley. “You come to us and say what did do on this day in 1962? We pretty much know what he did just by how he spent money.
