Need Help Identifying an Authentic Tupac Autograph
I am a big Tupac fan, and I would really love to obtain an authentic autograph of his. Unfortunately, since he has been deceased for so long I'm having a few problems.
1. I have no clue what his real autograph would look like.
2. Idk where to even look for one
and 3. There are so few around because Graphing wasnt as big back then as it is now.
I know if I do find an authentic one it will be expensive and I am willing to spend some good bucks to get my hands on an authentic one. I thought I'd begin my search on ebay. I found two that caught m interests. Below are the links to them. The 2nd one seems kind of fishy to me, So I thought I would ask if anyone would know where I may be able to get my hands on an authentic autograph of his? And what you guys think of the two ebay posts (below)? Either of them seem legit to you guys? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
http://cgi.ebay.com/TUPAC-SHAKUR-SIG...item3cb6a521a1 (Seems like the better of the two).
and http://cgi.ebay.com/2PAC-TUPAC-SHAKU...item27b9f7f25a (seems suspicious).

I collect Baseball Hall of Fame autos. When it comes to the deceased I only go with manufacture produced stuff. I pay more but think its worth it. I recently picked up Larry Doby and Warren Spahn on ROMLB with this kind of authenticity. Otherwise I would never have them.
Thats how I feel about buying autos of the deceased. Forgery runs rampant and who better for somebody to rip off than a dead guy? The only secondary inspected auto I've ever purchased of the deceased is a PSA certified Eddie Mathews RONLB. I feel good about it and after getting about a dozen pack pulled Mathews autos it looks legit and feels right but its the only one I don't KNOW for as certain as is humanly possible. Thats with PSA which is probably the best choice in a lousy option.
Both of the autos you link to are of a guy who died relatively young, didn't have regular signings like an athlete, and come with 'COAs'-if you can really call them that-from an inkjet printer in somebody's basement.
I'm not in the rap/hip hop auto market so I'm not really an expert but as an auto collector I see a lot of red flags here. I wish you the best of luck just understand that such a rare and 'hot auto' has a good possibility of not being all its made out to be.

I'm a big 2pac fan...but not an expert on his autograph. Although not an expert, I've never seen an autograph with "2pac"...I've always seen his graph as Tupac.

They both seem suspicious to me, I'd just steer clear completely.
As far as I know there is little to nothing of certified Pac stuff, your best bet is to get ahold of signed check or something.. Musician autos are some of the most faked online, especially with a sought after one like Pac.
