The page reads:

1956 "Moss Photo Service" Unknown Elvis DJ Post Card (SO RARE)!!!!!

This a rare "Moss Photo Service" Post Card from 1956. Have you ever seen this one before? It is SO rare. Unused, and in excellent condition. I believe this card was released the same time as the previous listing I have of Elvis & this DJ. Marked "Moss Photo Service". Check it out, too! Please see photos.

Well, here's the one the seller is referring to:

1956 Elvis "Moss Photo Service" Post Card (SO RARE)!!!!!

This a rare "Moss Photo Service" Post Card from 1956. Have you ever seen this one before? It is SO rare. Unused, but it does have a small stain on the back where you placed the stamp. I am also listing another "Moss Photo Service" Post Card this week of the same guy (DJ)? who is in the photo with Elvis on this card. Check it out, too!

First off, the disc jockey was a popular dude from Belleville, Illinois. He called himself "Uncle Buck."

Here's a post I made on his relationship to Presley:

The eBay photo isn't rare or unseen, it's been posted here before. It's a neat shot, to be sure. Notice also the print is date-marked "Apr 1974."

We see Elvis with Joyce Gentry, from O'Fallon, MO. She was president of the "Rock 'n' Roll Kats Fan Club," and had come to Graceland to bring him a crown. Another snapshot -- in color -- shows her standing nearby as he holds the gift. One suspects all the original photos this day are in color.

The second image is also known to us here, and shows Presley with disc jockey Ron Lipe. He helped set up the meeting with Joyce. Lipe was known professionally as "Uncle Buck" on WBVI Radio, 1260 AM in Belleville, IL.

In 1957 he interviewed Elvis when the singer played nearby St. Louis, MO.

It aired in early April:

With "Uncle Buck" backstage at Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis - Friday, March 29, 1957

Otherwise, would I buy either postcard for those prices?

No thanks.

Not "RARE" enough for me.

:wink:

Appreciate you.

I'll always go the extra mile for a good member of this forum.

Sometimes I even do it for less-good members.
