Interesting collection of signed items featuring wrestling legends Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart. Included:
- Jerry Lawler signed and inscribed promotional photo;
- Jerry Lawler handwritten letter on his personal "King's crown" letterhead and hand-addressed envelope;
- Jerry Lawler and Renee Spiegel signed Christmas card;
- Jimmy Hart signed and inscribed photo - "Mouth of the South" inscription; and

Interestingly, Elvis Presley was a huge fan of Billy Wicks--Billy wrestled with Elvis several times, teaching him a few techniques. In their 1959 Championship match, Billy Wicks & Sputnik Monroe (with Rocky Marciano as Referee) filled 20,000 seats at Memphis' Russwood Park--outselling Elvis' attendance record for the park of 16,000 seats! The group is pre-certified by Beckett Authenticated. Near Mint condition overall.
