When OJ went to trial the whole world saw the photos, heard the autopsy report, etc.

Agree to all of that. But it's not like OJ benefits if someone sells a PSA 9 OJ rookie card tommorow on PWCC. I guess, like you say, people have seen the details of the crime and just don't want to be associated with it.
