To celebrate Eminem’s first studio album after a five-year hiatus (due mainly to an addiction to prescription sleeping medication) Shady Records released this 24×24 inch RELAPSE poster. It was limited to 1,000 printed and each personally signed by Eminem (Shady) in large silver pen.

We purchased this Eminem print when it was first released in 2009, and it remained stored in the original mailing tube for 15 years. During that time, it was exposed to some moisture, which caused part of the print to stick together. To preserve and display it, we designed a 34×36 inch mat box that both conceals the damaged area and showcases the poster in a style inspired by the original album cover. As this being one of Eminem’s earliest signed limited editions, the print does have some serious value today.

In 2009, Shady Records celebrated Eminem’s long-awaited return with a special release: just 1,000 Relapse posters, each 24×24 inches and boldly signed by Eminem in silver ink. For fans and collectors, it marked not just a comeback album, but the beginning of a new chapter in his career.

We grabbed this print the moment it dropped and, like a time capsule, it stayed sealed in its original tube for 15 years. Some moisture left its mark, fusing part of the artwork together — but rather than hide it away, we built a custom 34×36 inch mat box that both protects the poster and showcases it in a design echoing the album’s cover. Imperfections aside, this remains one of Eminem’s earliest signed limited editions — a rare piece of hip-hop history with real collector weight today.
