Nice work on the article! Length, date, QPQ etc. all check out and no copyvios. No QPQ needed since this is only your 2nd DYK nomination. However, I think we could have a more interesting hook here. What about....
- ALT1: ... that a plastic crown which Notorious B.I.G. wore in a photo which was featured on the cover of Rap Pages sold for $594,790 at an auction?

- @ Prodraxis: Hey! Thank you for reviewing this! I'm fine with that version. However, I think in that case it's worth adding its original price:
- ALT1.5: ... that a $6 plastic crown which Notorious B.I.G. wore in a photo which was featured on the cover of Rap Pages sold for $594,790 at an auction?
- as it wasn't inherently valuable (Biggie's friend and CEO of his label Puff Daddy even complained that the cheap crown made Biggie look like the Burger King). The Guardian is a source for its original price. AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 00:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Accepted, in that case. ALT1.5 is much better. :)
