Other items include 24 carat gold discs, 50-60s bootleg recordings and interviews, a 10 inch Christmas album autographed in 1968, concert tickets, an original Elvis autograph, as well as many other Presley family autographs, a guitar badge owned by Vester Presley (Elvis' uncle) and many items donated by appreciative visitors. The owner, Kevin D. Wasley, also trades rare Elvis paraphernalia with overseas fans to enhance this collection.
