Elvis Trading Cards

**Awickedreigndrop** · 03-13-2007, 05:52 PM

One day a couple of weeks ago my friend called me to her house because she said that she had something to give me. When I got there she handed me a pack of trading cards with Elvis' picture on it, she also got herself a pack so we could trade... I thought it was unfair because she got the pack with the foil picture in it (Yes, I'm a big baby!)

I was wondering how many of you would get these Elvis trading cards, do you think they're worth getting, and how many of you are already collecting them?

If they're Elvis, I'd say go for it

. I have a few Elvis trading cards, not all in the greatest condition as they are quiet old, but still awesome to me!

Years ago I collected them I got the whole sets but am missing some of the foil type ones. Yes those foil type ones are nice!!!

Where do you buy your trading cards, and are there different kinds?

Which set of the tradin' cards do you have? Is it the River Group set from 1992??

Take Care,

I've got mine from Target for $1.99 per pack, and the company is Presspass. I only have three packs so far(Still no foil

) but hopefully I'll get more. I think they just started selling them the end of last year. I seen them at Target before around Christmas time with the other trading cards. Later on though, I noticed that they pulled them off the shelves. I guess they put them out too early or something. On the front of the packages it says, "Elvis Lives". I wonder if they are as good as the ones that were put out in the past.

Thank you!

I can help you make one if you want. It's fairly easy!

I just bought a box of those Elvis Lives trading cards.

I found out that they have some cards in there that's called Elvis memorbilia, those are cards that has a piece of Elvis' clothing in them. That alone is what made me buy an entire box! lol silly I know! The ratio is 1:240 packs.

Yes mine is the River Group set.
I think it came in three sets following on from each other.
Heaps of nice cards.

I've seen those cards being sold at Walmart too. I haven't bought any yet.... but have seen them as I know someone who is collecting the whole set. I have the whole first set that came out in '92 in the binder and everything.

Don't think I'll buy this set though.

I have cards dated 1978 edition, however, I am missing two or three. I haven't seen any of the new ones. I do collect the TV guide front covers too, anyone else?

**Dovey** · 03-15-2007, 01:45 PM

I Have the 1992-The River Group- The Cards of his Life. There were 12 cards per pack. I have a full box of them that I got as a Birthday gift one time. They are great cards with a lot of interesting reading on the back of each card. Dovey

My brother gave me a full set of those in 1978, he worked in a store which had them in cardboard displays they had gum in them. He bought 3 full boxes to finally get every card.

Thanks for the link, very nice site with lots of info.
By the way, i have more than 300 duplicates from the RIVER GROUP 1992 cards, and i'm still looking for missing cards, so if anyone is interested.

**Diane** · 03-17-2007, 06:53 AM

I have a full set of the 1978 Donruss-Box Enterprise cards, am short of about 10 of a full set of the 1992 River Group card of his life and have 4 of the 1956 Bubble gum cards that are in pristine condition, two are in poor condition.

I also have most if not all of the TV guides including a couple of Canadian verisions. Diane

**Awickedreigndrop** · 03-17-2007, 08:47 PM

I just got my cards in the mail today and I can say that I've got the majority of the Elvis Lives set. Plus I got half of the Foil set. No worn cards yet. I'm being very optimistic.
