Trading card featuring Menendez brothers after parents' murder becomes collector's item
Share and Follow

A 1990 trading card of Erik and Lyle Menendez skyrocketed in value following the infamous brothers’ 1996 conviction in their parents’ Beverly Hills, California, double murder.

The trading card featuring New York Knicks guard Mark Jackson, obtained by Fox News Digital, gained notoriety after eagle-eyed collectors noticed that the Menendez brothers were sitting in a pair of floor seats at the game.

The discovery of their presence on the card sparked significant interest among collectors and true crime aficionados. Previously valued at mere cents, the card’s price surged, with some listings reaching hundreds of dollars. However, eBay eventually removed listings that explicitly referenced the Menendez brothers, citing policies against items associated with violent crimes.

According to a TMZ report, some collectors are sending the card to the brothers in prison so it can be autographed.

Both brothers admitted to killing their parents in a gruesome 1989 shotgun massacre inside their Beverly Hills home. Since their resentencing last week, the brothers are now eligible for parole.

The brothers are set to appear before the parole board via video on June 13, 2025, at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. 

The board will either recommend or veto the brothers’ release. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has the final say over whether they should go free.
