    Description

    An extremely rare find: a die-cut standee from Elvis' second album, This Year's Model, from 1978. It was displayed in a NY record store. They removed the stand part and pinned it to a wall, and when they gave it to me I pinned it on my wall (using the same hole), the evidence of which you can see on his head.
    There's damage to it besides the thumbtack hole and the missing stand. The ends of the tripod legs have been bent and, though cracked, have not been broken off. They are just holding together. There is some wear and scratching and a little discoloration on the back. I have tried to show all this in the pictures.
    I have never seen another one of these for sale.
