Share this

A black leather jacket up for auction believed to have been worn by one of the drummers of the Ramones has been withdrawn from bidding after he questioned its authenticity.

It was one of a group of 700 rock memorabilia items up for bid - offered through a firm in Amherst specializing in online auctions. The jacket was advertised as worn by Marky Ramone. It's signed on the back in gold ink, "Marky Ramone."

Bobby Livingston, vice president of the 30-year-old RRAuction, said the item was withdrawn Tuesday after Ramone questioned whether it was his.

Livingston said yesterday the firm believes the jacket is authentic but is reviewing its history with the collector. A spokesman said in an email: "Jacket is not his. Period."
