Elvis Presley’s Hair Sold for $15,000

Locks from the King of Rock n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, were proved to be quite valuable!

As we previously reported, a clump of hair from the Jail House Rock singer that were believed to have been trimmed from his head when he joined the Army in 1958 has sold for $15,000 at a Chicago auction house.

Leslie Hindman Auctioneers provided 200 Elvis-related items that were auctioned last Sunday. Accompanying the hair in sold items, was a shirt that once belonged to the King which sold for $52,000. The buyer of the hair paid $15,000 plus an additional $3,300 in auction house fees.

Other items on offer included scarves, photos from the reception of Presley’s 1967 wedding to Priscilla, Christmas cards he sent and lots of records. Elvis dolls and Elvis Pez dispensers numbered among the memorabilia. All the items had belonged to the late Gary Pepper, who ran a fan club and was a friend of Presley. Pepper himself died in 1980, because of cerebral palsy.

With that price, it’s definitely an awesome piece of hair!
