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 offers a “lifetime guarantee of authenticity” on the cards, for which they are asking $225,000 each.

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.
