    I would also contact a local auction house - they will have contacts for stuff like that.

    I googled Elvis signed letters and most are going for £750-£1k, obviously yours may be differant
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    Don't wish to rain on your parade, but was just wondering how issues like this work, wouldn't the value really belong to the deceased estate.
