Fans looking to own a piece of Elvis Presley â" literally â" would better get their checkbooks ready because an auction of memorabilia is set to take place next weekend. In it, a clump of hair salvaged when Elvis got a haircut before enlisting in the US Army will also be included â" and itâ™s expected to fetch a whopping $12,000, NME informs.

Although estimates have it that the hair will sell for about $12,000, it could very well go for well above that amount, if past experiences are any indication, the aforementioned publication points out. In 2002, for instance, a jar of Elvisâ™ hair went for $115,000, also during a memorabilia auction. Which goes to show that $12,000 is actually the lowest estimate, some say. âœA clump of Elvis Presleyâ™s hair is set to be auctioned and expected to raise up to £9,000 ($12,000)!
. The hair which will go under the hammer on October 18 in Chicago, Illinois was salvaged by a friend of Elvisâ™ in 1958 after Presley enlisted in the US Army.
