i have a copy of this box set minus the booklet... any ideas hw much its worth?

[bradtheelvisfan]

@MultiFrog1000 Well, I've seen copies of this set sell for as much as $100 in used record stores. Since you don't have the booklet, though, it might might be worth a few bucks less.

I bought this silver edition 8 record set back in 1980 at a record store called Peaches down here in ft. lauderdale florida and it cost me $100.00 at the time and it had a lot of great songs with studio and concert stuff to. Thanks for posting

Record 5; "The Las Vegas Years" was released the year later as a single LP here in Sweden with another cover photo, since the laughing version of "Are you lonesome tonight" became so incredibly popular in Sweden. I've got the Silver Box as well, but I have never noticed the autograph in the dead wax. Thanks for an interesting video.
