A lot of cool stuff on there. The Tupac "letter" starts at $100k! That fur probably cost more than the $10k starting bid when new. He was a big boy too so extra animals needed.

@bhvf Yes cool stuff. I appreciate how the written content provides contextual meaning to the items themselves. I'm sure having grown up in NJ and NYC in the 70's and 80's ignites my interest.

I grew up in the same time and same area. 98.7 KISS and 107.5 WBLS were my introduction to hip hop.  I can still hear Buffalo Gals playing on some tinny sounding car stereo system.
