True Legend 25 (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"True Legend 25" is a 2025 timed-edition archival pigment print by Cope2, sized 14 x 12 inches on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and accompanied by a signed 1XRUN certificate of authenticity, released alongside its companion piece "The Goat 25."
Collector notes: Legacy catalog label: Timed Edition; total quantity was not documented in the saved record. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Timed editions capture demand within a fixed window rather than a preset number, so the final run reflects real collector interest at release. As a smaller-format, accessibly scaled Cope2 print with 1XRUN authentication, this piece is an approachable way to own a signed work while still carrying the artist's signature lettering style.
Collector Perspective
Because timed editions have no fixed cap, verify the actual number in your example and retain the signed 1XRUN certificate, which underpins provenance. The compact 14 x 12 dimensions suit intimate framing and grouping, and pairing it with "The Goat 25" creates a natural diptych for collectors who acquire both.
Historical Context
1XRUN, a Detroit-based print publisher, has released timed editions with graffiti and street artists including Cope2 for years. The title nods to Cope2's own standing as a veteran of the Bronx scene, framing him as a "true legend" of the movement he helped shape from the 1980s onward.
