OJ Simpson’s Bank of America Business Credit Card is being auctioned off

It is bad enough that OJ Simpson and his family cannot Rest in Peace, the former NFL football star’s business credit card is now up for sale in an auction.

Jonathan Lepore is selling the business account card over at Goldin Auctions. Lepore purchased the card, which expired in 2023, on eBay last summer for a steal at $70, adding it to his trove of sports memorabilia.

The price is already at 140 dollars, and he is hoping to bank on it. Here is what the description reads.

Presented is a Bank of America Visa business credit card originally issued to former USC, Buffalo Bills, and San Francisco 49ers tailback O.J. Simpson. Simpson’s gridiron career alone would have been enough for him to remain in the public consciousness for years after his retirement. A Heisman Trophy winner in 1968, he was drafted number one overall to the Bills in 1969 and embarked on a brief but exceptional 10-year career that saw him make five First-Team All-Pro squads and lead the league in rushing yards on four occasions. His 1973 season—the only 2,000-yard rushing campaign in NFL history to occur under the league’s previous 14-game format—is perhaps the greatest rushing season of all time.

He remained popular post-retirement, acting in a number of Hollywood films and being a sought-after spokesperson for a variety of products and services. However, Simpson will always be most remembered for the events of the mid-1990s.

In 1994, Simpson was accused of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ron Goldman, setting off a media firestorm and resulting trial that served as one of the watershed affairs of 1990s popular culture. The events surrounding the case—Simpson’s whirlwind “white Bronco” car chase, his attorney Johnnie Cochran’s unorthodox but undeniably effective court demeanor, the notorious glove try-on, and the scathing cross-examination of LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman—are seared into the collective public memory, and remain some of the most indelible moments in American legal history. Simpson was found not guilty after an 11-month trial (he was later found liable for the deaths in a civil suit a few years later); today, 30 years after the deaths of Brown and Goldman, public opinion remains divided on Simpson’s role in the tragic deaths.

Simpson passed away on April 10, 2024 at age 76. The card itself displays mild peripheral wear and small spots of light discoloration. The reverse side authorized signature section has not been signed, and the card expired in Jan. 2023.
