An iconic piece of Elvis Presley memorabilia is set to capture the hearts – and wallets – of devoted fans as his personal Bible prepares to hit the auction scene. With an opening bid already at $30,000, GWS Auctions is gearing up for the live auction on May 25. This Bible isn’t just any book; it proudly displays “Elvis Aaron Presley” in gold lettering and is filled with bookmarked pages and annotations that resonated deeply with the legendary singer.
The auction lot includes a heartfelt handwritten note from Elvis’ cousin, Patsy Presley, providing a personal touch to the item. This Bible, one of three discovered by Patsy and Elvis’ father while organizing his belongings after his death, was found in Elvis’ nightstand, marking it with sentimental value.
It’s widely acknowledged that Elvis was not just a musical icon but also a person of deep faith. He often turned to the Bible for comfort and reflection, especially before performing to large audiences.
Adding an intriguing layer to the story, the auction is orchestrated by Brigitte Kruse, a former business associate of Priscilla Presley. Kruse recently made headlines with a lawsuit claiming Priscilla had left her in the dark regarding financial troubles during their partnership.
Moreover, this auction comes at a tumultuous time, as Elvis’ estate faces the possibility of a foreclosure auction for Graceland. Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keough, is fervently working to avert this due to alleged fraudulent loan documents.
For an ardent Elvis collector, acquiring his personal Bible could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, offering a unique connection to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself.
