Description: Own a piece of History!!!! In the early 1990s, the USPS commissioned eight artists to create various designs for the potential stamp. In total, 60 candidate designs were submitted; from these, two competing designs were selected and presented to the general public for a mail-in election. The portrait of Presley that was ultimately selected―dubbed young Elvis―and a portrait of an older Presley wearing his iconic white jumpsuit―dubbed old Elvis. The election gained prominence and was often identified by the press as young Elvis or old Elvis election. This was the first time the USPS had opened stamp design selection to the general public. Pre-addressed ballots were available in post offices and in the April 13, 1992 edition of People magazine. The election returned more than 1.2 million ballots and young Elvis won with more than 75% of the vote. This is one of the Original Post Cards from History.
