A Mark Jackson 1990-91 Hoops card that was selling for 10 cents earlier this week is all of a sudden commanding $30. Why? A poster of Reddit discovered that in the photo, taken during the 1989-90 season, the Menendez Brothers are sitting courtside in the background. The murder of their parents took place in August 1989 and this photo was taken after the NBA season started in October 1989, which means that this picture was taken after the murders and before their apprehension (March 1990). The brothers were declared guilty in the murder of their parents and got life in jail. 28 years later, eBay is now going crazy over this card.
