While going through some stuff in the garage still in moving boxes, I came across something that I didn't know I had.

It is a flat, gold-foiled box labeled "Elvis Concert Photo Album". I am guessing that it was originally my mother's and I or my cousins packed it away after she passed away in 2010.

I opened it and here's what I found:

According to some sellers:

Rare Elvis Concert Photo album, Includes Original Gold Tone box
Collector's item from Boxcar Enterprises 1977.
Prepared for a concert before his death, then released posthumously the year of his death.
