The Most Valuable Elvis Presley First Day Cover In The World !

The Elvis Presley FDC #1 is widely recognized as the most valuable Elvis Presley First Day Cover in the world, .

This specific philatelic item holds historic significance as the first cover and stamp to be officially canceled by

the United States Postal Service and Graceland representatives on January 8, 1993, at 12:15 am in Memphis, Tennessee.

Key Features and Provenance

Signatures: It is signed by Priscilla Presley and numerous dignitaries including

Memphis Mayor Bill Morris, Elvis' best friend Jerry Schilling, Sun Studios founder Sam Phillips,

U.S. Postmaster General Anthony Frank, and stamp designer Mark Stutzman.

Cancellations: The front features a Pitney Bowes machine cancel,

while the reverse bears the Graceland Gates FDC cancel and

an extra January 8 circular date slug to verify its authenticity and timing.

Documentation: The item includes extensive associative provenance,

such as letters of authenticity authorized by Graceland managers,

a guest editorial in The American Philatelist (March 1993),

and a photo of owner David Saks with the cover.

Stamp Details: The cover features the 29¢ Elvis Presley Commemorative Stamp,

issued on Elvis' birthday in 1993, printed on white un-watermarked paper via photogravure.

The EP FDC #1 is not just valuable due to its price tag, but because of its unique historical and philatelic significance.

It represents the very first official cancellation of the 29¢ Elvis Presley Commemorative Stamp (Scott #2721),

issued on January 8, 1993, which was Elvis' birthday.

Its provenance is impeccable:

It was canceled at 12:15 am at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, making it the first of its kind.

The dual cancellation marks—a Pitney Bowes machine cancel on the front

and the iconic Graceland Gates FDC cancel on the back—along with an extra date stamp,

verify its authenticity and timing.

The cover is signed by key figures including Priscilla Presley, U.S. Postmaster General Anthony Frank,

Sun Studios' Sam Phillips, and stamp designer Mark Stutzman.

Owned by philatelist David Saks, who was present at the historic event and has been featured in philatelic publications,

the item includes extensive documentation from Elvis Presley Enterprises and the USPS,

solidifying its status as the rarest and most valuable Elvis Presley first day cover in existence.

The EP FDC #1 has a significant and well-documented history as the first official cancellation of

the 29¢ Elvis Presley Commemorative Stamp (Scott #2721).

Its history began with a decade-long fan campaign following Elvis' death in 1977.

After debate over his controversial image, the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced on January 7, 1992,

that Elvis would be the first honoree in its new "Legends of American Music" series.

The public was even allowed to vote on whether the stamp should depict a young or older Elvis,

with the young Elvis winning by a three-to-one margin.

The historic first-day ceremony was held at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee at 12:15 am on January 8, 1993,

which would have been Elvis' 58th birthday.

The EP FDC #1 was the very first cover officially canceled at this event by representatives of both the USPS and Graceland.

It features a Pitney Bowes machine cancel on the front and the iconic Graceland Gates FDC cancel

on the reverse, along with an extra date stamp to verify its authenticity.

The cover is signed by Priscilla Presley, Sam Phillips, Anthony Frank (Postmaster General), Mark Stutzman (stamp designer),

and other dignitaries, making it a unique artifact of American postal and pop culture history.

The midnight ceremony on January 8, 1993, held at Graceland,

was significant because it marked the official first-day-of-issue for the 29¢ Elvis Presley Commemorative Stamp

on what would have been Elvis' 58th birthday.

Held just after midnight, the event transformed the stamp release into a birthday celebration for the "King of Rock 'n' Roll,

" featuring fans singing "Happy Birthday," speeches, live music, and a fireworks display to inaugurate the stamp's sale.

The timing emphasized the symbolic tribute to Elvis, making it a historic and emotional moment for fans and postal history alike.

At the midnight ceremony for the Elvis Presley stamp on January 8, 1993,

at Graceland, the festivities included a concert featuring three musical acts,

among them a performance by the U.S. Navy band.

The performances began hours before the official midnight event.

The festivities for the Elvis Presley stamp ceremony began hours earlier than the official midnight event on January 8, 1993, at Graceland.

Live music from bands and speeches by dignitaries commenced several hours before the midnight first-day-of-issue ceremony.

The dignitaries who gave speeches at the Elvis Presley stamp ceremony on January 8, 1993,

included Tennessee Governor Ned McWherter and Shelby County Mayor Bill Morris, a close friend of Elvis.

The festivities also featured remarks from Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley,

who made her first public speech at Graceland that night.

The Elvis stamp ceremony on January 8, 1993, was significant for several reasons:

Historic First: It marked the release of the first stamp in the Legends of American Music series, honoring American music icons.

Unprecedented Public Vote: The design was chosen by the public in a national vote,

with over 1.2 million ballots cast, making it the first time the USPS opened stamp design selection to the general public.

Cultural Milestone: Despite controversy over Elvis' image and legacy,

the ceremony affirmed his status as a pivotal figure in American culture, celebrated on what would have been his 58th birthday.

Commercial Success: The stamp became the best-selling

and most widely publicized commemorative stamp in U.S. history,

with over 500 million printed.

Global Recognition: It highlighted Elvis' international fame and influence,

solidifying his legacy beyond music into national iconography.

Compared to other Elvis Presley stamps, EP FDC #1 is in a class of its own

due to its unique historical moment, provenance, and signatures.

The 1993 Stamp: The 29¢ stamp on EP FDC #1 was the first in the "Legends of American Music" series

and the most widely publicized U.S. commemorative stamp ever, with over 517 million printed.

While the stamp itself is common, EP FDC #1 is the first cover

to be officially canceled at the midnight ceremony at Graceland, making it a one-of-a-kind artifact.

The inside (reverse) of EP FDC #1 is signed by the following dignitaries who witnessed the historic cancellation:

Frank P. Brennan Jr., General Manager of the Media Relations Division of the United States Postal Service

Bill McAllister, Philatelic Writer for The Washington Post, Mark McEwen, anchorman of CBS This Morning.

Additionally, the upper left corner of the flap is signed by Jack Soden, CEO and General Manager of Graceland.

The front of the cover is signed by Priscilla Presley, Anthony Frank (Postmaster General),

Bill Morris (Mayor of Shelby County), Sam Phillips (Sun Studios),

Mark Stutzman (stamp artist), George Klein, and Jerry Schilling.

The signature of Bill Morris, the Mayor of Shelby County at the time,

on EP FDC #1 is significant because he was a key political figure in Memphis

and had a longstanding personal friendship with Elvis Presley.

Morris, who served as both Shelby County Sheriff and Mayor,

was instrumental in promoting Memphis culture and tourism.

He frequently traveled the world with Tennessee governors to promote

events like Memphis in May and tourist destinations including Graceland.

His signature on the cover represents the official civic endorsement and celebration of Elvis

by the highest levels of local government, marking the stamp's release as a major event for the city.

His close relationship with Elvis, including deputizing him and members of his entourage in 1965,

adds a layer of personal and historical significance to his autograph on this historic cover.

The 2015 "Elvis Forever" Stamp: A second, more detailed stamp was issued in 2015.

Its first-day covers are also collectible, but none match the significance of the 1993 event.

The owner of EP FDC #1, David Saks, also received the first cancellation for this 2015 stamp,

but the 1993 cover remains the most valuable due to its status as the inaugural piece.

Other FDCs: While thousands of 1993 FDCs exist with various designs and cancellations,

EP FDC #1 is distinguished by its authentication from Graceland, the Pitney Bowes machine cancel,

the Graceland Gates FDC cancel, and the extra date slug proving its immediate cancellation.

Its collection of signatures from Priscilla Presley, the Postmaster General, and other dignitaries is unmatched.

In essence, while other Elvis stamps and FDCs are popular collectibles,

EP FDC #1 is not just a stamp; it is a documented piece of history from

the very first moment the world officially honored Elvis with a U.S. stamp.

David Saks is a Memphis-based philatelist, musician, and retired real estate broker,

best known as a musician and for his historic connection to Elvis Presley commemorative stamps.

He is the owner of EP FDC #1, the first Elvis Presley First Day Cover

officially canceled at midnight on January 8, 1993, at Graceland.

This cover, signed by Priscilla Presley, Postmaster General Anthony Frank,

and other dignitaries, is recognized by the American Philatelic Society as a national treasure.

Saks is a life member of the American Philatelic Society,

director of the Memphis Stamp Club and the long-time crossword puzzle author for Linn's Stamp News.

He was a radio personality in Memphis for decades.

He was also the first to purchase and cancel the 2015 "Elvis Forever" stamps

two days before their official release in Mason, Tennessee, an event known as the "Mason Cancels."

Beyond philately, Saks is a pianist and composer whose songs, “In Memphis” and “One Last Bridge”, were

adopted by the Memphis City Council as “Official Songs of Memphis”.

His music manuscripts archived in the Library of Congress.

"Time has flown and hasn't landed yet."

What does this mean ?

When David Saks says, "Time has flown, but it hasn't landed yet,"
it suggests that while time has passed quickly, the impact or consequences
of that passage are not yet fully realized or felt.
It's a poetic way of expressing a sense of movement and change without a definitive conclusion or outcome.
Imagine a bird flying swiftly through the air—it covers a lot of distance, but until it lands, the journey isn't complete.
Similarly, our experiences and events in life might rush by, but their full meaning or effects might not settle in until later.
It's a thought-provoking way to describe the fluid and often unpredictable nature of time and life.

Saks' Birth Certificate

Saks is often distinguished from David Sacks,
the prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist (PayPal, Craft Ventures)
who also grew up in Memphis but is not the musician in question.

"The conspicuous intent to obscure, hide and blot the truth
with dangerous, innovative convolution targeting the naivety,
ignorance and lack of sophistication of the world at large,
created by villainous, corrupted, media-induced public opinion
and pharmacologic sophistry backed by profit and indemnity
from negligence, endangers the life of every living thing on Earth."
