Goldin Is Auctioning Off Hip-Hop Memorabilia From Notorious B.I.G.
Goldin has assembled a few pieces of hip-hop history for its March Pop Culture Elite Auction, which presents notable artifacts, from collectible playing cards to toys and VHS tapes. For this rendition of the monthly auction, the Goldin team looked to hip-hop’s immeasurable influence on American culture. Leading the lineup is an index card signed by the late great Notorious B.I.G. As the rapper passed away at 24, there are few signatures of his in circulation. The card features “Much Love, B.I.G” written in a felt blue pen. Another signed item comes courtesy of the late Eazy-E, a CD of N.W.A.’s debut LP Straight Outta Compton, on which the rapper has referenced lyrics from the album: “2 Sam Stay Cool Homeboy F*ck Tha Police.” and more.
Here is a description of the rare auction for Biggie's Signature:
"The Notorious B.I.G (Christopher Wallace) lived until the ripe age of 24, yet Rolling Stone, Billboard & Source magazines all named him the greatest rapper to ever lived. One thing special about Wallace was he didn't write down his lyrics, and rarely signed autographs due to his larger than life persona/entourage. Examples are few and far between with this offering being the finest Biggie signature we have handled to date. Signed boldly in blue felt tip "Much Love, B.I.G" by The Notorious B.I.G on an off-white index card. Authenticated, encapsulated & graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA/DNA."
