Authenticity is Everything
The Cat Is Out Of The Bag!!!! :)
(CNN) – The U.S. Marshals Service has canceled the auction of Jesse Jackson Jr.'s fraud case memorabilia after revelations that at least one of the items may be a fake.
More than a dozen items had been up for auction, handed over by Jackson to be auctioned off, with the proceeds going towards the $750,000 judgment against him after he admitted to misusing campaign funds for private use. Jackson, a former Democratic Representative from Illinois, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Among the fur coats and movie memorabilia was a guitar purportedly signed by Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen. Those signatures may be fake, the Marshals Service said in a release, saying that they had received "legitimate concerns about the authenticity of the guitar."
What do furs, the king of pop, and Bruce Lee have in common?
"Out of an abundance of caution, the Marshals Service will conduct a secondary review of all the assets," the statement said.
"Once the review is complete, a decision will be made whether to repost any assets for sale by auction."

They were all sold by Antiquities, in the Caesar's Palace Forum Shops. All came with Antiquities COAs, and some came with COAs from AAU/Drew Max, Myron Ross/Heroes & Legends, and Donald Frangipani.
Maybe this time they'll finally "round up the usual suspects."

The ones you've mentioned are all there, but there's one "usual suspect" that's noticeably missing from the list.

Would be nice if authentication services were government regulated in some sense. Not allowing just anyone to set up an authentication company or memorabilia store. I wouldn't even be against one company like PSA (or maybe a PSA/JSA merger?) monopolizing the market.

What an incredible article. Those involved in the sale and authentication of these items blew so much smoke that I'm surprised it isn't coming out of my PC monitor.
