You can soon bid on Elvis Presley's prescription bottles
Die-hard Elvis fans can soon expand their collections of memorabilia devoted to the King.
In May, a collection of Elvis' possessions, including his marriage certificate, the tour bus used by his backup singers, and his prescription bottles will be auctioned. The event will also feature Elvis's Stutz Blackhawk luxury sports car, the first one that was ever sold.
Julien's Auctions will host the "Property from the Life & Career of Elvis Presley" event on May 16 at New York City's Hard Rock Cafe. The items are expected to go for plenty of money: Julien's estimates that a remote control for the gate at Elvis's Graceland home will sell for at least $4,000. His marriage certificate, meanwhile, is expected to fetch between $25,000 and $35,000.
