A must for every Elvis fan, the tools used during the autopsy conducted on the star in 1977 are going up for auction.
Autopsy tools used to embalm and prepare Elvis Presley's body for his funeral in 1977 and a toe tag used on the singer for identification purposes are set to go under the hammer at a Chicago auction house.

Here's some inspiring words from the song "A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch" by the Dead Kennedys In lonely gas stations with mini-marts You'll find rows of them for sale Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley Drink like a vampire His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine Sprawled across from his graceless mansion A shopping mall Filled with prayer rugs and Elvis dolls And I wonder Yeah I wonder Will Elvis take the place of Jesus in a thousand years Religious wars Barbaric laws Bloodshed worldwide Over what's left of his myth

I wonder if whether or not they were washed afterwards would have any effect on the value. I'm guessing it would.

this is just sick. i hope they dont sell but sadly they probably will and make someone a lot of money. any money raised from this should be passed directly to one of the kings many charity`s

Hmm... but sporting a couple of Elvis toe tags could be pretty neat at the party.
