Elvis Is (Presspass)
I'm almost positive it's 6/6. I just checked several pics and both the gold (/299) and platinum (/99) versions have the numbers oriented the same way. I can't imagine they would reverse it just for the tag version. Here's an example:

Picked up two of the retail "blaster" boxes tonight and boy am I glad I did! (No, I didn't get the cut autograph card.)

Blaster #1:

Foldout timeline card 1935-1957

Elvis Is insert #1

On the Record insert #6

and

Elvis Worn Pajamas memorabilia card #EW-PJ!!!
(solid black fabric swatch) Clap

Blaster #2:

Foldout Timeline card 1966-1969

Elvis Is insert #6

On the Record #1

and...

Elvis Worn Karate Uniform Platinum Edition #d 94/99!!!!
(solid blue swatch) Dance Dance Dance

How cool to get not one costume card, but two!? As I got the boxes I was hoping to get a costume card. Of course a cut autograph would be the ultimate, but it was not a realistic expectation. In the retail blasters the costume cards were 1 per 84 packs! The autographs were 1 per 96 packs, but to be honest, I was more interested in the costumes.

I will try to trade for a complete set of these. Nice cards of one of my favorite performers of all time!

A one point it was at $890. Should have ended the auction. Don't know why the ******* around with the price by the bidders.

Saw some reruns of his Elvis show on last week. What a great performer he was. Let's hope people don't forget.

We were able to make our first visit to Graceland last month. The mansion is a surprisingly warm and comfortable place. Very neat to see just how special he was to his fans. When we were there I counted five different languages being spoken by the other fans on the tour. Truly an international favorite!

Got a couple more blasters tonight, hoping for one more costume card. Didn't get a costume, but did get a Barbara Eden autograph card! Dance

Also was able to complete my base card set and am only a few inserts away from a mini-master set!

Opened up a case of this product as I am a huge fan of Elvis and these were on a liquidation from my distributor. My auto.'s pulls:




and my Memorabilia pulls were:



I was certainly happy with the 04/08 Buttons exclusive and also the press plate pull. I was very happy that I made this purchase.
