Big Pun's Terror Squad Medallion On Sale At eBay For Diddlely
Wednesday - June 29, 2005 by Carl Chery
Five years after his untimely demise, the late Big Pun's Terror Squad Tombstone medallion was recently put on sale at eBay.
Previously worn by Pun, the customized $100,000 medallion piece has been put on auction on behalf of the Rios family. The piece is yellow gold dipped in white gold, featuring 1,728 baguette diamonds and 173 round diamonds and weighs over 1.25 pounds.
Since June 24th, the medallion was put up for auction with the opening bid starting at $1,000. Proceeds from sale of the medallion will go to Big Pun's widow, Liza Rios and their three children. Sources claim Liza has struggled to raise the children and make mortgage payments on their home since the emcee died back in 2000. To date, the family has not received any royality checks from Pun's first two albums but has received one small check for the emcee's last album, Endangered Species.
The auction closes on July 4, 2005 at 4:48pm PST.
