O.J. Simpson's game-worn jersey from the mid'-1970s is an irresistible combo of the famous and infamous. It makes one heckuva souvenir, too. Of all the collectibles you acquire, this will be the talker, both for the baggage that comes with it and its heavy use. Ol' No. 32's large Sand Knit tailored especially for the Buffalo Bills -- like it says on the front shirt tail labels -- has so many heavily sewn repairs that they look like stains from afar. There's a blood and dirt stain next to the "2" on the front (we won't go there) and a few others scattered about. The silkscreen arm rings are scratched. It's a terrific gamer even without the nameplate Simpson stitched to it, but who could ignore the name? And who could ignore that despite being tried for murdering his wife, Simpson might have been the most exciting running back ever? This white-mesh poly Bills jersey housed one of the sport's great entertainers.
