This was discussed on another autograph forum a few months ago. Yes, it appears the disgraced Jesse Jackson Jr. purchased most, if not all, of his memorabilia from various Las Vegas galleries that rarely, if ever, offer authentic material.

So it appears the U.S Marshal's Service, who is auctioning the seized assets, is trading in counterfeit memorabilia.

Hilarious.

Everyone has something wrong with them. In addition to the stuff he got convicted for, Jackson apparently has a shopping habit. Very common addiction these days, along with all the usual ones.

As mentioned seems like a conflict of ethics for the government to seize stolen property and then sell fraudulent memorabilia it's actively trying to eliminate from the market.

Packs, I said that to the auction house. They said they could not take it down only the Marshalls office. I am waiting for there call.

I don't understand how the government can sell memorabilia with certificates of authenticity from a person the FBI itself investigated and tried to indict for authenticating forged memorabilia. What kind of crap is this. I'm honestly outraged that so much money would be wasted on an investigation ten years ago, further money stolen, and now the government sanctions a sale of property they tried to eliminate from the marketplace.

Our tax dollars at work I guess.
