Several pieces of rock ‘n’ roll history will be up for grabs this week, as Elvis Presley memorabilia goes on the auction block.
Authentic Elvis artifacts will be offered by online live auction marketplace, Invaluable, at ‘The Auction at Graceland,’ which coincides with the King’s birthday on Jan. 8.
In addition to collectibles such as a Gibson Ebony Dove guitar (estimated at $300,000 to $500,000), bidders can vie for an Omega watch and jewellery, including a gold, diamond, and black sapphire ring (above), which is expected to fetch $10,000 to $15,000 U.S.
“Elvis Presley universally remains one of the most iconic musicians of all time, and we are thrilled to once again work with ‘The Auction at Graceland’ to offer online bidding on this incredible selection of artifacts from his life,” said Rob Weisberg, CEO of Invaluable.
“Elvis’s legendary Gibson Ebony Dove guitar is one of the most celebrated guitars to ever be offered publicly—and we are pleased to give online bidders around the world the chance to own this incredible piece of history, along with the other Elvis artifacts included in the sale.”
Graceland Auctions managing director Laura Pickett says all 126 lots have been expertly authenticated by the staff of Graceland Authenticated. None of the items come from third-party collectors or the Graceland Archives.
“We believe this will be the most exciting sale of Elvis artifacts yet,” she said. “We look forward to working with Invaluable to once again offer online bidding to fans, music collectors, and pop culture enthusiasts, and extending the reach of this sale around the world.”
‘The Auction at Graceland’ is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. CST on Jan. 7. Bidders can view the full catalogue on Invaluable.com and bid online in real-time during the live auction.
