I'm sorry but this shit should be in a museum, the Smithsonian.

So the government needs tax money from the dead? This should be a write off for them, JB was an American Icon. Every award, every jumpsuit, every cape, the cigarette case with one cigarette still in it.

A certificate of Pardon for the State of South Carolina! WTF disbelief

This shit is criminal...

Uncle Sam don't give a f--k - he wants to get P-A-I-D(see Sammy Davis Jr. & Redd Foxx). I'd like to know who was watching James' loot. Why wasn't this sh!t taken care of long ago?

Uncle Sam is the ultimate pimp. Dead or Alive he is going to get his.

If you're alive: "B**** better have my money."

If you're dead. "Corpse better have my money."

typically this is how things end up in museums

the museum buys the item out of pocket having the highest bid against other museums

OR someone very wealthy becomes the winning bidder and donates it to a museum
shrug

either way the item(s) are paid for by people who have interest in protecting the item
