A clump of Elvis Presley’s hair has successfully sold at an auction for $72,500. Kruse GWS auction released a statement on the hair, saying, “This collection of hair was saved from haircuts given to Elvis Presley by his personal barber Homer Gilleland over the years and represents the largest and most well documented collection of Elvis’ hair in the world.”
“This isn’t a lock of hair that you typically find, but is a massive, baseball sized specimen which has not been offered for sale in nearly 20 years.”
The piece is also accompanied by a certificate of origin, letter and certificates of authenticity, certificate of provenance, and letter of provenance. Other highlights from the auction include a jumpsuit worn by Presley for his performance at Madison Square Garden in 1972, which sold for $1,012,500.

It’s speculated that this is where the hair came from, although there’s no confirmation on that. All we know for sure is that this hairball dates decades back.
