I Don't Get It
I don't really get why you'd feel a need to spend this much money.

Re: I Don't Get It
How may times in your lifetime can you get a World Series Ring with your name emblasoned on the side?

Re: I Don't Get It
About 20 years ago, I visited my uncle in California and he lived a couple houses down from a guy who worked for one of the ring companies (I was 15, I can't remember which one, sorry)
I distinctly remember seeing, wearing and admiring college and pro Championship rings that he had available for sale to the public with any name I wanted. Underneath where college rings normally have the signature of the graduate, they said "Replica, not for resale" Same 10k gold, stones and markings, that was the sole deviation.
Granted that was 20 years ago but last I checked, buying a Championship replica ring like this isn't that hard. Admittedly, while I love cheering for my teams and hope I see them all win Championships, buying a ring with my name on it from one of their titles? Maybe taking your fandom a little far (And that's from a guy with hundreds of game used pieces)

Re: I Don't Get It
I didn't get why someone would want a championship ring that they didn't earn or wasn't previously owned by a player when it was at 15 G's and I'm even more confused now that it ended at over 80 G's.
At least the money is going to a good cause.

Some people see a child with cancer and have compassion and pay for their treatments. Other people see a ring they can't live without. Priorities

Re: I Don't Get It
Could be just a drop in the bucket for the winning bidder?
I had a lot of similar conversations "I dont get it. Why would you pay so much for that?"
And my reply always be "To each his own."

Re: I Don't Get It
Some folks pay 80 grand for a watch, and it doesn't even have their name on it or having anything to do with Baseball.

Re: I Don't Get It
Would it be considered a tax write-off, if the money goes to a charity??
