THIS ITEM IS UP FOR AUCTION!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/226118945216

This incredibly rare item brought to you by impulse.dot.creations!

This is a stuffed baby doll that I actually caught myself at the Anger Management Tour 2005 on July 31, 2005 at the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA. Performers that evening include: Eminem, 50-Cent, Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, G-Unit, D12, Obie Trice, Stat Quo, Lil Scrappy, and Pitbull.

There are 5 (FIVE) different autographs on this one-of-a-kind piece of music memorabilia. Four members of D12, and most of them are multi-platinum:

- "Shady 2005" - The G.O.A.T.

- "Proof" (Eminem's best friend who passed away - in 2006, only a year after I attended this concert. RIP)

- "Kuniva"

- "Swift" aka Swifty McVay

- "Obie Trice" - Real name, no gimmicks!

As for the other drawings/'musings' on the doll:

It has Macaulay Culkin's name misspelled on the forehead as "Mcaully Calkin"

a face mask with a black circle (to represent an open mouth... ?)

a couple of references to a certain "Micheal" on the rib cage and "bottom" -- ouch.

Here is how I came to own the doll:

Tldr: I caught it at the concert.

So, an ex-girlfriend's mother bought the 3 of us pit tickets because we all really liked Eminem. I mean, who doesn't?! And let me tell you, they really went hard on this one. It was a concert unlike any other before or since! So many people on the stage at one time. So much going on. So many sick tracks. Come to find out it was also one of the last opportunities to see Proof on stage. And since we were so close to the stage, when Lil John stood at the very edge, we could see under his sunglasses and... if you know, you know. Anyway, during the final set, they started throwing the dolls from a 3rd level balcony. I watched 'em go left and right but we were dead center. Stuffing and little baby doll appendages were being tossed in the air from people fighting over them. I was locked on to the guy throwing them and when this one went center, I perked up. I knew I had to get the timing just right if I was going to have any chance. Yo, I jumped and grabbed the doll in mid-air with both hands before dropping to my knees to secure it from the crowd. After a few seconds without anyone trying me, I stood up and there it was: one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my entire life and not only was I holding it... it was mine. Suddenly, I came back to reality and realized the show was still on so I immediately put it under my shirt. We only saw one other fully intact doll as we were leaving that night and if I recall correctly it is was Steve Urkel.

Unfortunately, something came up and, my ex's mom, we'll call her Robin, was unable to attend the concert. So the plan was to surprise her with the coolest souvenir of all time. We got home and tried to give her the doll but she insisted I keep it since I caught it. It got kind of tense as we went back and forth over who should keep it. She got visibly frustrated as she handed the doll to me one last time and to this day that is the most selfless and gracious thing anyone has ever done for me. Thanks, again, Robin. RIP.

I looked into getting the signatures verified because some people like that but it was going to cost hundreds to get them all verified and I'd have to send it off when this thing has never left my house. I believe there is an online verification service especially for auctions that will do an online verification for like $10, last I looked.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
