There are so many issues with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) its hard to know where to begin. In some cases a genuine attempt to document an authenticated item via a COA by a reputable dealer is itself forged or reused in some way to refer to another item of more dubious heritage. In this way the authentication issue becomes recursive !

On August 16, 1977, Presley was scheduled on an evening flight out of Memphis to Portland, Maine, to begin another tour. That afternoon, however, his fiancée Ginger Alden discovered him unresponsive on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion. [267] Biographer Joel Williamson suggests that "involving a reaction to the codeine" he had taken "and attempts to move his bowels—he experienced pain and fright while sitting on the toilet. Alarmed, he stood up ... and fell face down in the fetal position." Drooling on the rug and "unable to breathe, he died." [268] Attempts to revive him failed, and he was pronounced dead at Baptist Memorial Hospital at 3:30p.m. [269] He was 42. [270] Nash, Alanna (2010).

In September 1941, Presley entered first grade at East Tupelo Consolidated, where his teachers regarded him as "average". [14] His first public performance was a singing contest at the Mississippi–Alabama Fair and Dairy Show on October 3, 1945, when he was 10; he sang "Old Shep" and recalled placing fifth. [15] A few months later, Presley received his first guitar for his birthday; [16] [17] he received guitar lessons from two uncles and a pastor at the family's church. Presley recalled, "I took the guitar, and I watched people, and I learned to play a little bit. But I would never sing in public. I was very shy about it." [18] Moscheo, Joe (2007).
