Nicole Brown Simpson<\/a> in the Hamptons during the 1980s and early \u201990s.<\/p>\n\u201cBut he tells us he hadn\u2019t bumped into him since… and forgot he even had it \u2013 until, that is, the news of OJ\u2019s passing over a week ago jogged his memory.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nGoldin founder and CEO Ken Goldin told TMZ: \u201cWith OJ\u2019s recent passing, this card is a small piece of that story and we could see some exciting numbers at auction.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSports merchandise collector Jonathan has listed the card for $140 on online auction marketplace Goldin with a long description of Simpson\u2019s journey from NFL hero to actor and then murder suspect.<\/p>\n
\nSimpson was arrested in 1994 for the knife slaughter of his ex-wife Nicole Brown, 35, and her 25-year-old waiter friend Ron Goldman at her Los Angeles home.<\/p>\n
\nHe was sensationally cleared of the murders after a blockbuster 11-month \u2018Trial of the Century\u2019 in criminal court \u2013 but later found liable for the horrific knife murders in a civil case that ended in him being ordered to pay $33.5 million in compensation.<\/p>\n
\nThe card has slight wear and tear and small spots of light discoloration \u2013 and hasn\u2019t been signed on the reverse by Simpson.<\/p>\n
\nJonathan will not personally cash in on 100 per cent the sale of the card as he is apparently planning to donate 10 per cent of the final sale proceeds to the National Network to End Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n
\nThe auction, which ends on Friday (26.04.24) comes after Simpson\u2019s Ford Bronco \u2013 used in his infamous 1994 slow-speed car chase with police before he was arrested for Nicole and Ron\u2019s murders \u2013 may soon again be going up for sale.<\/p>\n
\nThe white vehicle was part of one of the most notorious episodes in American history when, on 17 June, 1994, Simpson used it to flee with his friend Al Cowlings after he was ordered to surrender to police five days after the stabbings of Nicole and Ron \u2013 not stopping until 90 minutes later, with 95 million viewers tuning in to watch the chase while supporters flocked to the road to cheer on the ex-athlete.<\/p>\n
\nIts three owners, Simpson\u2019s former agent Michael Gilbert and two friends of Al\u2019s, are hoping to make at least $1.5m through a public or private sale, telling reporters they have had sudden spikes in interest in purchasing the vehicle in the wake of Simpson\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
