Any idea of value for a Championship Ring?

[perlman9]

Someone from the 2002 Ohio State National Championship team is looking to sell their team ring. I was thinking of getting it but have no idea what the value is for something like that. Do people really collect those kinds of items? Or is that something that is usually worth more to the player than a collector?

awhile back I asked a similar question and someone responded with this site to better answer all of my questions. Hopefully this will get you going in the right directions.

Can't give you a price, but it has real value. At the least a few hundred. Championships rings from all sports, college to pros, are collected and appear in the big auctions. They're like medals and trophies.

Agree, I think you would see a price tag of at least a couple hundred. I have seen Nebraska rings (may not have been National Championship rings) sell for $500 and more.

thanks everyone! I am checking it all out and personally am more interested in his jersey from the game which he may sell but he has the ring on hand so just debating!

Not that long ago, a pawnbroker on Ebay was selling off some rings of Barry Bonds. One ring was from his record home run season or something like that, and I cannot remember the other one. Someone on the forum has one of the rings.

OSU fans are rabid! A real 14k player's ring would get $2,000+ easily.

I would agree with the $2000 estimation. At the National each year you will see 2-3 championship ring dealers.
