Critical “criminal relics” of sex fiend and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are heading to auction ahead of the next release of case files held by the Justice Department.
Maryland-based Alexander Historical Auctions, which specializes in selling historical artifacts, said it has received an offer for about $100,000 for the address book and has put an expected price of $6,000 on the double-breasted blue blazer.
Epstein was charged in the extraordinary sex trafficking case in 2019. He died by suicide five weeks later in his Manhattan jail cell.
Maxwell, a one-time girlfriend of Epstein, was convicted in the case that focused on trafficking underage girls to the disgraced financier. She has lost one appeal and is hoping for a win at the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Justice Department has promised to release key documents in the case. It has already put out one tranche and has assigned hundreds of officials to ready the next set of papers to be released.
Maxwell and Epstein posed for a photo that was often used in TV and newspaper stories. The photo showed Epstein dressed in a blue blazer with his left arm around Maxwell.
Alexander auctioneer Bill Panagopulos said the coat he is auctioning is a match and includes Epstein’s name tag sewn into it.
The “little black book” is one of two that Epstein kept. It is reportedly Epstein’s first book of friends and allies, including President Donald Trump, before he lost it in midtown New York City in the 1990s. It contains 386 entries over 64 pages.
There is no indication that those in the book are suspected of wrongdoing.
The dates in the book suggest it was used before Epstein set up his “Pedophile Island.”
Alexander previously attempted to sell it and got an offer in the “area of $100,000.” The owner rejected that offer. He has since decided to sell the book with no reserve because he is hopeful the winning bidder will use it for research purposes.

He specifically hopes a buyer may be able to uncover Epstein’s purported ties to foreign intelligence services or governments, said Panagopulos.
“This relic is a piece of criminal evidence of the highest order,” said the Alexander write-up of the book.
