2Pac and Biggie‘s arrest fingerprint cards have been placed on the auction block — but Hip Hop fans looking to own these pieces of history won’t be able to get them for cheap.
Moments In Time — a California-based autograph broker — recently listed the fingerprint cards from Pac’s 1995 arrest for sexual assault, and from Biggie’s 1995 Pennsylvania arrest for robbery and aggravated assault.
In Biggie’s case, the aggravated assault charge was ultimately dismissed. Pac, however, ended up getting convicted of sexually assaulting Ayanna Jackson, for which he was sentenced to nearly two years in prison.
Moments In Time offers a “lifetime guarantee of authenticity” on the cards, for which they are asking $225,000 each.

While 2Pac and Biggie never collaborated on a track in their lifetimes, they did work together — in a manner of speaking — thanks to the magic of AI.
The Reddit group Yedits — a community that dedicates itself to the “mixing and editing of a wide variety of artists’ music” — first posted the mashup between the two artists, which they titled “Bad Boy Killer” back in April, and it quickly caught fire thanks to the power of social media.
Though the snippet is only about a minute long, the music featuring The Notorious B.I.G.’s voice is quite convincing — even if his taking shots at himself is less so.
Meanwhile, 2Pac’s name has been back in the news thanks to the arrest and upcoming trial of his alleged killer, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who will face trial in June 2024.

Despite Davis’ arrest, Suge Knight is under the impression that it’s Snoop Dogg who has a lot of explaining to do when it comes to his former labelmate’s death.
“As far as the Puffy situation, I really, really, really gotta have a real conversation with Snoop,” he said on the latest episode of his Collect Call podcast. “I knew that ‘Pac did everything right by him by putting him on All Eyez On Me, speaking about him and being real with him.
“And if it’s true what they say, face-to-face it’s gonna be a lot of explaining to do.”
It has been rumored that Snoop Dogg and 2Pac fell out shortly before the latter’s death after the “Gin & Juice” rapper praised The Notorious B.I.G. in a radio interview, which can potentially explain why Knight believes he had something to do with the shooting.
