A good source would be to go to eBay and type in one of your decanters and check the block, on the left side, that says COMPLETED LISTINGS as it will show what the decanter you type in recently sold for. Repeat until you have done an inquiry for each. Lastly, you can do a "LOT" search as well but make sure that your lot of decanters is the same as the completed listing lot.

Elvis' Father, Vernon Presley, authorized a "public viewing" at Graceland (Elvis home for three decades) which took place the day after Elvis died...on August 17, 1977. Elvis, lying in his casket, was "set up" in the foyer area of Graceland and over 30,000 fans were allowed in (with another 50,000 outside the gates of Graceland) to pay their respects. Funeral services were held at Graceland with a large progression of 16 white Cadillac's, and the hearse carrying Elvis' body, with a police escort going from Graceland to Forest Hill Cemetery. This is the same cometary where his beloved Mother (Gladys Love Presley) was buried. Within a few weeks of Elvis' passing Vernon Presley was legally authorized, due to threats made to steal Elvis' body, to remove both Elvis and Gladys from Forest Hills Cemetery. On October 3, 1977 both Elvis and Gladys were buried at Graceland.
Elvis was born and raised in the South. Much of Elvis' family, on both sides of his family, were born and raised in the South as well. Elvis loved going to Church and singing the gospel songs some of which he would later record when he became older. Each year Elvis gave fifty charities monies ranging from a thousand dollar check to some as large as tens of thousands of dollars. Elvis taught everyone in the World, including the South, that one could come from being dirt poor and by using your talents and working hard that you can succeed. Elvis, as an adult, made his home at Graceland, in Memphis. Elvis loved Memphis. Elvis was important even when it came to race relations because he was truly "color blind" and anyone who knew Elvis have done countless interviews of Elvis love, caring, support, and standing up for those in need.

I think its that he initially had a very large following by blacks on the rhythm and blues charts.

Google gives significantly more hits for Spiderman, so I would say Spiderman... but Elvis is also very very popular. It is important to note, however, that Memphis International Airport effectively goes into gridlock twice a year, several days before and after 6 January (Elvis' birthday) and several days before and after 16 August (Elvis' death). I doubt very many large cities have been excessively crowded for Spiderman.
