Incredibly rare Tupac Shakur autograph signed “Peace, 2Pac,” in blue felt tip marker on a crisp white 5” x 3” index card. Accompanied by a Beckett/BAS LOA—important as Beckett is extremely discerning on which Tupac signatures they will certify as genuine—and also by two images of the original in-person autograph collector with Tupac, one of them captured in front of The Essex House Hotel. This was one of the last Tupac autographs ever signed when it was obtained at the Essex House Hotel in NYC as the rapper was in town to rehearse for the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards, which were held at Radio City Music Hall on September 4, 1996. The show would mark Tupac’s final public appearance before he died from a gunshot wound on September 7—rendering this likely ONE OF THE LAST AUTOGRAPHS the iconic rapper ever penned.
