Mark Jackson NBA Hoops Card with the Menendez Brothers in the background?????
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-91-Hoo...Dcfl:rk:4:pf:0
Card is selling for an easy $10 on eBay now. Was this something that was known before? I never heard about this in all my years of collecting. Is it even them?Selling All My Cards Here------>Hidden Content

Looks like it -- this is one of several articles on the subject:

Crazy. I've seen that card and all the 1990-91 Hoops cards so many times before (I mean they were mass produced by the millions), but like most, I don't usually take a look at the backgrounds in the photos very often. I was really young when that story made the news anyway, so I wouldn't have had detailed knowledge of what the brothers looked like.

Unbelievable that it took this many years for somebody to spot this seeing as how this was big big big news around the time the card was newer. It was a huge trial pre OJ Simpson and these cards were everywhere. I don't recall ever having this Mark Jackson but if you bought enough NBA Hoops you were bound to pull it.

Apparently, eBay isn’t a fan of basketball cards with the Menendez brothers. After a wild weekend where 1990-91 Hoops Mark Jackson cards went from dime box denizens to hot sellers of $20 and more, the online auction house is pulling listings of the card. The card hit the mainstream when news of Lyle and Erik Menedez sitting courtside in the background went viral.
If eBay does continue to crack down on the 1990-91 Hoops Mark Jackson card because of the Menendez brothers cameo, there are still other places the card can be found. This includes the Beckett Marketplace. There are no plans to remove the cards at this time.

It looks like the trial (1993) started a few years after the murders happened (1989), so that could help explain why they were overlooked on an older card:

This reminds me of a Beckett article earlier this year. How EBAY sales for a common baseball card worth 5 cents sells for way more than its worth.
