Marty Lacker is now selling his autographed pictures

[Brian]

so far zero bits for the autographed photos as of this writing.

That suprises me I thought someone would've made at least one bid by now.

It could be that people are just becoming a little more selective in their memorabilia.

I'm surprised that his other collection of easily reproduced photos got fifty-something bids yet this presumably unique collection of autographs hasn't had so much as a sniff.
I guess the serious bidders will be hanging back until the last minute to avoid pumping the winning price up unnecessarily.

Agree

[Tommy]

Oh well, he will be back at one time or another, probably with the same photos again, trying to make money. I guess he is really needing the money.

Stunning photo of Ann-Margret.

I think the same as Ken, people are waiting until the last moment so the prices aren't driven up.

[Tommy]

You can ask Ann-Margret for an autograph, no need to buy it.

Maybe no one will bid on them at all.

I wouldn't buy autographed pictures that were signed for someone else.

Besides like Tommy said Ann Margret signs autographs for fans and Shelley Fabares probably does as well

he should look for a job

[epmoodyblue]

look for work ..like us normal peeps

Has he ever had a "proper job" ?

May,

Yes, as a matter of fact, Marty has had a "proper job". He was involved with Chips Moman at American Sound Studios when Elvis recorded there in 1969 and he was also involved in the starting of Pepper records (also) in Memphis, TN and he also had a business out in California after he left Elvis in 1976....so, cut him a little slack. Not all of these guys have mooched off of Elvis. Marty is retired and does, in fact, need the money for his house and repairs.

If Marty Lacker wants to sell his pictures then that's fine
if somebody wants to buy them that's okay

Marty Lacker probably wouldn't sell them if nobody was interested in them
In that case why not sell them since he's retired and needs the money for his house.
Nobody gives anything away.

It's interesting to note his selling of his pictures has been more successful than the honorary Memphis mafia certificates that Lamar Fike and Marty were selling recently.
I'm glad he's found something.

I agree, Brian.

he should look for a job

I'll say this one more time:

Doesnt sound like a proper job to me.

You know what? I give up replying to posts like this or the previous one.

Marty left Elvis in 1967 to start Pepper Record company and then he began working as co-owner with Lincoln "Chips" Moman two years later when Elvis began recording there in Jan/February, 1969.

Here's another example of a "job" that Marty has had:

In March of '77, I moved to California and went to work as a salesman for a food company. I'd been off the drugs five months and I wanted to get away from everything.

Marty (at the time of the "Revelations From The Memphis Mafia" book) had his own advertising and sales firm. He did marketing and promotion projects for various companies and was involved in the film, "Elvis: The Echo Will Never Die" so - like I say - cut him some slack.

What would anyone of us do if our livelihood (for example, working for Elvis) was suddenly taken away from us? You have to realize that most of these guys were around him 24/7 but that they did have families and other commitments so for anyone to say that they didn't have a life outside of Elvis is totally off the mark.

I'm sure Marty is kind of old to be looking for a job. But let him sell what he can, it doesn't hurt anybody. We are here only once.

Agreed. Marty is in his 70s now and he deserves and should be allowed to do with his pictures and memorabilia as he wishes.

I'm outta here.....

If he makes a mint-fine-if he doesn't sell a single one-fine.
My opinion is let him do what he wants-or must-I'm not involved nor intend to be.

Okay.

You can ask Ann-Margret for an autograph, no need to buy it.

Have you met her? Is she quite approachable then? I always imagine her to be very quiet and stay out of the limelight. I guess that impression comes from not saying much about her and Elvis's relationship.

[Diane]

you'd think he would be happy with the $2,950 he got yesterday.............

That sum of money doesn't go anywhere these days unfortunately.
