Mike McGowan isn鈥檛 sure how his older brother came to own a 1956 set of Elvis Presley cards, but he鈥檚 kept them preserved in a box.

The 琉璃神社 resident had the set of 66 cards in his family for 61 years, he said.

Recently, he gave the cards to a designing company in Vernon, which preserved them in a new way. The cards were scanned and redesigned as posters, which McGowan said has been a hit with Elvis fans.

McGowan presented the four posters to local pubs and sold copies of the four posters, which highlight the front and back of each card, to fans.
