Ink signature and inscription, “To Mary, love, Elvis Presley,” on an off-white 7.25 x 10 sheet of American Airlines stationery. Collector’s notations indicate signature was acquired on April 12, 1974, on a flight from Los Angeles to Dallas–Fort Worth on Flight 262, at an altitude of 37,000 feet over Newman, captained by F. E. Rudolph, with a second notation to bottom edge reading “Note; 24 Gold Records (64 total).” Light vertical bends and three horizontal folds, one through a small portion of inscription, and some scattered light creases and wrinkles, otherwise fine condition.

Something special was in the air as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll held court high above America. Elvis had been on tour between most of March and July of 1974, and had already performed at the Houston Astrodome, where he set a one-day attendance record with his two shows. That same month he performed in Memphis for the first time since 1961, treating fans to four concerts on March 16 and March 17. The King was on a short break when he signed this autograph, as he did not resume his tour until May.
