I was 20 when I wrote this article back in 1995 for The Elvis Beat #12, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.
1995 marks the return of Elvis Presley on tour. Well, sort of. A nine-state tour of Elvis memorabilia made ten stops across the nation from April 28 to June 22. The tour, known as “Elvis Treasures: The Great Road Show Of ’95,” featured a $150,000 collection.
The collection included an authentic Elvis jumpsuit, a TCB necklace, guitars, and other items. The tour began on April 28 in New York City and concluded on June 22 in Colonial Heights, Virginia.
Viewers of the exhibit had the opportunity to win various Elvis prizes, including the grand prize of a trip to Graceland.
“Elvis Treasures” promoted the newly released Official Price Guide To Elvis Presley Records And Memorabilia by Jerry Osborne.
