Trading card featuring Menendez brothers after parents' murder becomes collector's item
Share this @internewscast.com

A 1990 trading card featuring Erik and Lyle Menendez rapidly increased in worth after the notorious siblings were convicted in 1996 for the murder of their parents in Beverly Hills, California.

This card, depicting New York Knicks guard Mark Jackson and shared by Fox News Digital, gained prominence when sharp-eyed collectors spotted the Menendez brothers sitting courtside at the game.

Their unexpected appearance on the card attracted keen interest from both collectors and true crime fans. Initially, the card was worth only pennies, but its price soared to hundreds of dollars on some occasions. However, eBay later took down listings that made direct mention of the Menendez brothers, due to their policy against items linked to 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.
