A New Jersey federal judge has given the green light to a lawsuit that alleges a prominent auction house sold sports memorabilia supplied by former hip-hop star Peter J. Nash even though the firm’s president knew there were questions about its authenticity.
The suit, filed last year by Westchester collector Corey Shanus, claims that Robert Edward Auctions and its president, Rob Lifson, knew items supplied by Nash — best known as “Prime Minister Pete Nice” of the early 1990s group 3rd Bass (pronouced “base”) — were not authentic but allowed Shanus to purchase them anyway.
