As an absolute HUGE Elvis fan and having seen his signature countless times not to mention reading several "Is this a real Elvis autograph?" threads on various Elvis forums, I have to say that you should be careful with these. The 2nd one especially looks bad. I've never seen so many loops like you see for the "vis" in Elvis in that signature. The "E" is off, as well as the "P" "S" and "Y". The whole thing looks completely off. I would ask the seller how they obtained these autographs. Sometimes they have a story that goes with the item and sometimes their own story can shoot themselves in the foot. I remember an item that a seller claimed Elvis signed in Vegas (a popular story) on a certain date but the problem was Elvis didn't perform in Vegas on that particular day. The seller was banking on that story to sell the item but since the signature looked off and his story didn't check out---it was pretty easy to say no to that sale.
I almost never throw in my two cents about autographs but since I've seen Elvis' SO MANY times, thought I"d chime in. Just my opinion. Good luck! For more info check this:
