A prison ID owned by late rapper Tupac Shakur has been sold at a record-breaking price, making it the most expensive piece of Tupac memorabilia ever sold.
Heritage Auctions opened bidding on the ID card at $2,000. It was sold for $30,000 (£24,041) after 30 bids.
The badge was issued to Shakur on 28 February 1995 by the State of New York Department of Correctional Services.

Earlier this month a breakup letter written by Shakur to Madonna went on sale with a starting price of $100,000. The bidding ends tomorrow (26 July).
The breakup letter is up for auction now via gottahaverockandroll.com. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to breastcancer.org.
