Courtesy of the Chicago Public Library Tumblr, we have the library card signed by Elvis Presley in 1948, when the rock icon was only 13 years old. Because it’s believed to be the earliest known signature of the King, the autograph fetched $7,500 at auction last summer, more than twice the original asking price. As for what was young Elvis reading, you’re wondering? It’s The Courageous Heart: A Life of Andrew Jackson for Young Readers. h/t @kirstinbutler

If I were Peggy Smith, I would be mad that someone scratched out my name….
That is not the oldest signature of Elvis Presley, It is from the book “English Fairy Tales” and he checked it out in the 7th grade (a year before).
OMG! It only “fetched” $7,500 and that was twice the price asked for???????????
