The item has fetched two bids so far, with the highest being $3,300. The auction closes on Saturday (March 2).
Plenty of other unique 2Pac-related items have been up for auction in recent years.
Last month, Los Angeles-based Nate D. Sanders Auctions auctioned off a concert ticket signed by the late rap icon in January 1992, a mere two months after the release of his debut album 2Pacalypse Now.

The autographed ticket, which is from a Digital Underground performance at The Warfield in San Francisco, features a personalized message that reads: “PEACE 2U 2PAC.”
Before that, a personalized crown ring owned by the All Eyez On Me rapper was sold for $1 million, making it the most valuable Hip Hop artifact ever.

‘Pac famously wore the gold, ruby and diamond ring during his last public appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, shortly before he was fatally shot at the age of 25.
It bears an inscription that reads: “Pac & Dada 1996,” referencing his engagement to sweetheart Kidada Jones.
It was later revealed that none other Drake was the winning bidder, with the 6 God flexing a photo of the ring on social media.
Drizzy previously spent a similar eye-watering amount on a pair of matching chains modeled after 2Pac.
