One of the biggest Elvis collectors ever, Jim Curtin, passed away. Jim gave Elvis a black Gibson with EP in the neck and Elvis gave him a jumpsuit to thank him. At the highlight of his collection, Curtin got 3 jumpsuits, memorabilia and thousands of pictures and vinyl.
The largest part of the collection was sold at different auctions in the past years. Jim also released 7 Elvis books, among them was 'Unseen Elvis'.
