The cachet on the left side features a black vinyl record illustration with the text 'Elvis Presley' above and 'TECHNICAL•FDOI' below, printed in black on white stock. The pictorial cancellation depicts Graceland's famous music-note gate with brick walls on either side, rendered in a hand-drawn style. The 29-cent Elvis Presley stamp shows a young Elvis smiling and holding a microphone against a magenta/purple background, and this example includes plate number corner selvage with '2222' printed in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The postmark reads 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE / January 8, 1993 • Memphis, TN 38101'.
