 Elvis' Report Card Auctioned for $8,000 | | By: Dirk Steele | Published: 01/13/2000 | | |  |

Las Vegas (AP) - His sixth-grade report card didn't show
much aptitude for math or geography - he earned lowly D's. But
Elvis Presley was already scoring A's in music.
The King's report card was the first of 2,000 items culled
from the Graceland Collection to be put on the block during a
three-day auction that began Friday at the MGM Grand Hotel.
The card fetched $8,000, while the whole spectacle attracted
the usual constellation of Elvis impersonators and rabid
fans.
The items included Elvis' draft card, which went for
$22,500, his parents' tax forms and the sequined jumpsuits from
the latter part of his career.
The Bulk of the pieces were record and movie performance
contracts, including the publishing contract for "Heartbreak
Hotel" and letters from Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and
President kennedy. But there were also several of Presley's
vehicles, including a vintage yellow Cadillac and a 1956
Lincoln Continental.
The items were selected to week out the collection at
Graceland, with money raised from the auction going to build
houses for homeless families in Memphis.
"It could come to a few million dollars or more," said Arlan
Ettinger, owner of Guernsey's, the Manhattan auction house
staging the sale.
