Offered is an early 1970's Elvis Presley unused backstage pass used by his crew during his concert tours that has been signed by Memphis Mafia members Joe Esposito and Charlie Hodge. Joe signed "TCB Joe E. 10-18-97"; TCB, of course, stands for Elvis' personal and professional motto "Taking Care of Business." A security measure that Elvis tours employed to allow backstage access for staff during concerts was the use of cloth badges. Easy to produce and affix, the badge shapes, styles and colors were easy to adjust for different tours and shows to prevent unauthorized access across various venues. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentic. The badge measures 3 3/8 inches in diameter and presents in Near Mint condition.
