The Elvis Presley hit ‘Return to Sender’ is about a man mailing a letter to his girlfriend after an argument. She continually writes “return to sender” and he keeps receiving the letter back with various reasons for returning to sender: including “address unknown” and “no such person”. He keeps mailing letters, refusing to believe the relationship is over.
On 8th January 1983, a commemorative stamp to celebrate Elvis Presley’s birthday was introduced. On this day, many Americans wrote invalid addresses on their letters with the new stamp. So, they would get the letter back with “Return to sender” written over it and the Elvis stamp with the first day issue date on it, increasing the value of the stamp.
