.....and it continues:

His physical appearance on April 16th 1972 is consistent with my
picture. Take a look http://www.elvisconcerts.com/pictures/c720416.htm

My mom said that these pictures were taken right before he started
getting really heavy. I can't find any online pics of the Macon concert,
can you?

I think he changed at intermission and it was never noted. I have two
highly credible eyewitnesses!


Man, this guy is desperate to sell his picture!!

I sent a couple of those pics to the seller and he said "His physical appearance on April 16th 1972 is consistent with my
picture". Not only is this person a con artist, but he's also blind as a bat!!!

So he lives here in Georgia eh.....looks like I need to make that move to North Carolina! Look out Tom - here I come! :lol:

I can just hear this guy stammering and stuttering as he types his response.....he's been busted! :oops:

The sad thing is, if he'd just change the show location and date to Seattle it would be legit. Still, I'd avoid this guy - he strikes me as the type of person who "hears voices." :roll:

I understand what you are saying but my parents were there. They went to
the concert in Macon, GA. My dad shoved his way down the aisle to make
this pic. They have no reason to lie to me, they have never even been to
Seattle. I have no doubt this photo was taken at the concert at the
Macon Collesium in Macon GA. I have no reason to not tell the truth, I
really don't want to sell the picture.
Elvis fans are like no other. Seems that some young pup is just starting to find that out.
If you are going to sell Elvis memorabilia, you'd better stay on the up and up. A newbie can't get up early enough to pull the wool over the eyes of members of this board.

I start to believe that he's talking bull. He only tried to write a reliable story to sell his pic. That's all.

If Ray Charles would be alive he could tell you the difference between a Elvis on a photo from 1970 and a Elvis on a photo from 1972 without any difficulties.

Tom Tom !

The guy told me this now

You contacted me earlier about my elvis picture. I spoke with my father and he said that the picture I have was taken by my cousin in Mobile, AL in 1970. He has several from Macon, GA, locked in a safe.

At least... he got the year right.

Has anyone photos from that date - September 14, 1970 - to confirm that he's right with the suit?

After some emails back and forth with this person, there is no way she was trying to con anybody. She just didnt know the correct date and to be fair we neither. :oops:

She sent me some other pictures from the same concert, really nice lady. 8)

I gotta agree. She doesn't come off as a huckster at all. I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she sincerely thought that she had what she said she had. When confronted with irrefutable evidence, she changed her tune, apologized, and sent me the same pics that she sent Francesc. I think we're done with her.

I'm glad this turned out to be an innocent mistake. I'll admit I misjudged the person.

You may now start my beating :cry:
