Fans of the Big Apple will be happy to know that Yankee tickets are among some of the available sporting items.
Hip Hop
While it is difficult to agree on a greatest top 50 list of hip hop artists, fans do manage to agree on one thing: you can never have too many collectables. West coast or east coast? You’re covered either way.
A signed poem from the west coast legend himself, Tupac Shakur, is up for grabs. Sticking true to his candid style, Pac uses colloquial language to convey one of his many deep messages. Estimated to be selling for $7,000 – $9,000, the poem is another part of the west coast legend’s cemented legacy.
Sticking to the west coast theme, fans of the ‘Doggfather’ will be quick to jump on this item. Owned and used by Snoop Dogg himself, this marijuana grinder is sure to make your vices feel a whole lot smoother. The item will cost more than an eighth though, estimated to be sold for $2,000 – $4,000.
The hip hop lot also features plenty of autographed vinyls and merchandise, so be sure to check it out.
Other categories that are available in the auction include political/historical items, personally worn items, movie memorabilia and autographs – just to name a few. Even if you’re not looking to spend much, it’s worth a gaze over as there are some bargains available.
