Snoop Dogg Selling His Collectibles In ‘The Shiznit’ Memorabilia Auction
Don’t feel too bad about the amount of stuff you accumulated over time. Celebrities also end up with an abundance of things. Except, they can make some serious bank from the most basic items just because their name is attached to them. Snoop Dogg will be putting some pretty cool items of his up for auction.
The Shiznit: The Snoop Dogg Memorabilia Auction is live now at The Realest and it features a wide variety of clothes, jewelry, awards, gold plaques, photos, concert riders, reel-to-reel tapes, scripts, and one-of-a-kind items that Snoop promises are all authenticated; phase one ends on June 2, with a preview event taking place in New York today and Los Angeles on May 29 and more items slated to go live soon.
The items will be auctioned off via sports-and-music auction house the Realest in which Snoop is directly involved in the action.
“Make sure you get it ’cause it’s authenticated, signed by the one and only Snoop Doggy Dogg,” Snoop says in a promo video hyping the auction in which he sports an old-timey SD police hat and black shirt with a Doggy Dogg logo. He then pages through a script with all the notes he made, saying, “this s— mean a lot to me, I ain’t never look at this s— cuz… this is my first leading role!”
What Snoop Dogg memorabilia is up for auction?
Among the items up for bid are several unique and highly sought-after collectibles. There is a Jeff Hamilton-designed NB Lakers 2001 championship jacket, styled like the one worn by Kobe Bryant, which currently has a bid of $105. Additionally, a handwritten tour setlist is drawing attention with a current bid of $120.
Moreover, bidders are showing interest in a custom Death Row pendant with a Cuban link gold chain, presented in an autographed Death Row logo box, with the bid standing at $210. Equally intriguing is a roach from a Snoop Dogg blunt, preserved in resin inside Snoop’s ashtray, which has attracted a bid of $209. These items, along with several others, are creating excitement among collectors.
Music memorabilia is a thriving industry.
A Gibson J-160E acoustic guitar, which John Lennon used to write many early Beatles hits, went for $2.5 million at auction. Similarly, Bob Dylan’s handwritten lyrics for his iconic 1965 song Like a Rolling Stone sold for $2 million. One of the most valuable auction items in hip-hop history, a gold, ruby, and diamond crown ring designed and worn by Tupac Shakur, was purchased by Drake for over a million dollars last year.
