Elvis Presley has twice signed and inscribed this $500 bill to his friend and biggest fan Gary Pepper on both sides in blue ballpoint pen. One one side he has written "To Gary, Merry Christmas, Elvis Presley" and on the other side he wrote, "Merry Christmas Gary, Elvis Presley." Elvis gave this twice-signed and inscribed bill to Gary at Graceland. Gary was the president of the Tankers Fan Club (an Elvis fan club) in Memphis. The soles of both boots have been signed and inscribed by Elvis to Gary. One is signed and dedicated " To Gary your friend Elvis Presley." Gary had cerebral palsy and Elvis purchased a home for him and gave several members of his family jobs at Graceland. Gary helped out with the fan mail at Graceland from time to time. Very good condition. Comes with at letter of provenance from Elvis Presley's very close friend and confidant Charlie Hodge who was present at Graceland when Elvis gave it to Gary, photos of Elvis and Gary together, and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
