Tupac's signed fingerprint record features his black-and-white mugshot and has him listed under his real name, Lesane Parish Crooks. 'Pac's card stems from his 1995 arrest for sexually assaulting a female fan named Ayanna Jackson. After being found guilty of sexual assault, Tupac was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison. However, he only served nine months of his sentence before being released. Additionally, Tupac's never before seen prison mug shot and prison ID are also up for sale.
Meanwhile, Biggie's signed fingerprint card features a black-and-white mugshot of the late Brooklyn rhymer and has him listed under his real name Christopher Wallace.

B.I.G. was booked then for a robbery and aggravated assault charge. The robbery charge was later dropped.
