A limited-edition Eminem poster from 2012, signed by the rap icon himself, has just appeared at the Goldin 2025 Fall Music Memorabilia Auction. Designed by Mike Saputo, the artist behind several of Eminem’s album covers, the piece captures the rapper at the centre of an explosion, symbolising the impact he has had on hip hop.
Presented in a 22.5-by-28.5-inch frame, the print is hand-signed in white ink by Eminem and numbered 228/500. The artwork shows him holding a microphone with his trademark intensity, alongside his recognisable logo. A certificate of authenticity from Beckett accompanies the item, verifying the authenticity of the signature.
A Rare Piece of Hip Hop History
Eminem remains the best-selling rapper of all time, with over 220 million records sold worldwide. After all, he is the first artist ever to debut 10 consecutive albums at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Moreover, the pull of his personality goes far beyond hip hop. Especially for collectors. Collectors and fans alike value his signed memorabilia, and this print, which blends art, legacy, and rarity, is a prime example.
Mike Saputo’s Design and Eminem’s Signature
The poster’s designer, Mike Saputo, found recognition for his bold, cinematic visual style. He has created album covers for Eminem, Metallica, and Foo Fighters. Also, his work stands out for its strong lines and sharp details. Today, Saputo is one of the top names in music design.
Famously, Saputo’s input has shaped Eminem’s album aesthetics for over a decade. Interestingly, he called his most recent work, “The Death of Slim Shady” cover, his favourite album art.
More importantly, this particular print, with its explosive imagery, mirrors the energy of Eminem’s early 2010s comeback.
Currently, the top bid stands at $550, though that figure will certainly rise as the auction continues. As open Extended Bidding starts at 4 a.m. on November 13, 2025, it will be available to all participants.
