The offered “ELVIS Special Souvenir Package” is an prime example of Colonel Tom Parker's marketing thoroughness. For many of the Las Vegas Hilton concerts, he had these paper envelopes created and filled them with souvenirs from the current show but also from whatever supply of ephemera he had left from previous concerts. This example is one of the most full we have ever encountered with 12 different pieces! This assemblage is a perfect representation of the Colonel's efforts, for which fans paid the princely sum of “$3.00”. Included:
- “ELVIS Special Souvenir Package” Green Envelope – printed with the dates “December 2nd thru 15th-1975”;
- Summer Festival 1975 Souvenir Tour Photo with “SOLD OUT” Concert Map on the reverse, 8 ½ x 11 inches;
