Wayne, I would not buy a Tupac autograph without JSA, PSA or Epperson authentication...if he does rap. Rap autographs from the 90s-back can be tough, so be extremely careful. I think there was a Tupac signed contract being offered around earlier this year...does anyone recall? If my memory serves me correctly, I think they were asking five figures.

Thanks for the reminder Steve.

I remember about the contract, it was the movie contract for his first movie "Juice". I don't know about the winning bid but I wouldn't be surprised it went to five figures since a movie contract has more sentimental value than say, a 5X3 card.

Hi- the seller of the 2nd one listed for $1350 is the same seller that sold the contract on March 11, 2012 for $6800...I remember discussing it with him. I'm a Tupac/Biggie collector, and he's a really tough sig to find legit, and even if its authenticated it's tough. He changed his style drastically over a few short years and it's a graffiti type, so forgers must have a field day!

Here ya go- BTW- sorry the SOLD PRICE was $4800..I also added a pic (bottom) of the one the Sold about 8 years ago at Heritage for under $500!! The thing is, this is his Legal Name, and this sig is much different than the "2Pac"

Also- here is a pic of my signed Juice VHS tape that I obtained from someone who did promo work with him- early 90s- If you see his late sigs from 95-96, it is much more rushed, probably from signing quickly, stress, and also lets remember he was shot in the arm in 94 as well, which may have affected his sig.

Thanks a lot for the info Joe, it's always interesting to know more about the history of some 2pac collectables.

I wonder what do you know about the autographed cigar and champagne glass? Back in around 2005 I remember seeing a 2pac autographed microphone on ebay and its asking price was around 3-4K. Couldn't find much information on it other than these small thumbnails of pics on this forum.

Wonder what's your opinions on them? Thanks

Well said Trapper,  I bought a couple of items which were previously from Icon and both turned out to be lemons.  Stay well away and avoid losing your money.

If in doubt as in this case come on here and people will tell you if it's a likely fake and help you avoid wasting money.

Thanks for everybody's response here as you all have been helpful.

Here's the RR Auction of Tupac's autograph I mentioned

According to the description, it comes with a PSA/DNA so it's likely legit (unless COA is fake too?)

I am not familiar with auction site but I assume RR Auction is pretty credible? Too bad I missed it and since there are only 3 Tupac items on RR Auction between '01,'03 and '12. It's likely gonna be a while to see another Tupac autograph again.

I guess Global Authentics isn't that credible?
