Est. $5,000-$6,000 Elvis Presley's Personally Owned Mint Green Long-Sleeved Pajama Set W/COA - This pair of long-sleeved pajamas were personally owned and worn by Elvis Presley. The mint colored pajamas contain interior "Munsingwear" clothing labels size D tall. The pajamas come with a certificate of authenticity stating that they were acquired from Hobart and Bonnie Burnette, who owned the Hickory Log Restaurant across the street from Graceland and delivered food up to the house for the Memphis Mafia and on occasion Elvis and/or Vernon. Elvis' father Vernon purchased a house on Dolan Dr. adjacent to Graceland in the early 1960s, and after his divorce in 1973, Elvis spent a great amount of time there to escape Graceland and its inhabitants, sometimes staying over late into the night talking with his father. After Elvis' death, Vernon moved into Graceland and sold the Dolan home and all of its contents to the Burnettes. The pajamas were acquired from the Burnettes and later displayed at the Elvis-A-Rama museum in Las Vegas, Nevada for over 6 years.
