Elvis Presley's Graceland plans auction for 85th birthday

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Elvis Presley's Graceland plans an auction of artifacts to be held during the late entertainer's 85th birthday celebration Jan. 8.

All the items up for auction come from third-party collectors but have been thoroughly researched and certified by Graceland Authenticated, according to a news release from Elvis Presley Enterprises. The mansion and all artifacts in the Graceland Archives are owned by Lisa Marie Presley and are not for sale.

The 288 artifacts include a golf cart, clothing, jewelry, autographs, concert memorabilia and Hollywood items. Several Graceland experiences will be auctioned, and the proceeds will benefit the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation.

Items to be included in the auction were announced Monday, along with registration information. The catalog is available at Graceland's official online store.
