O.J. Simpson may be totally unemployable at this point, but he’s still found a way to make some money — though it’s probably all going to the Goldman Family.
Following his release from a Nevada penitentiary, Simpson signed mini and full-sized Buffalo Bills helmets, which are currently selling for up to $579.98 on Steiner Sports. That pricey one comes with a case.
“This item has been hand signed by Buffalo Bills great O.J. Simpson,” the website’s official product description reads. “The signature on this item has been authenticated by Steiner Sports and features a uniquely numbered tamper-proof hologram which can be verified in our online database.”
Here’s a snapshot of the top-shelf option:
Still, a rep at the company wants our readers to know this: “So it is clear, Steiner Sports did not hold the signing with O.J. Simpson, but purchased his new autographs from a third party.”
“Collectors collect and O.J. Simpson is a part of sports history for his accomplishments on the field,” Steiner Sports CEO Brandon Steiner explained their business decision. “He’s a Heisman Trophy winner, 10,000+ yard rusher and Hall of Famer. We are just trying to answer the demand of our customers looking to complete their collections.”
Cost-conscious collectors can grab a mini-helmet with just Simpson’s John Hancock for the bargain sum of $249.99. No case for you, though.
Per a civil suit lawsuit settlement, any money made by Simpson belongs to the Goldman Family. Simpson was acquitted from a criminal standpoint in the 1994 slayings of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson.
