Update: Turns out my wonderful GF was way ahead of me on this one. The last Christmas gift she gave me to open this year was a little black box and inside it was one 2011 Cardinals World Series ring. Yup, she's the best. All it takes is some doings and you can have a real one..see If by "doings" you mean dropping a couple K on a salesman's sample, I'd just rather not. My ring is "real." And I'd rather have my ring. My ring has my name on it and it was an extremely thoughtful gift from someone important to me. Your rings, while "real", are pretty meaningless. They all belonged to someone else before you ended up with them. Every day when I put on my ring, I'm reminded of how wonderful my GF is. I don't look at it and think "yup, won another auction" or whatever. Just to be clear, you don't have some sort of magical formula. Championship rings aren't hard to come by. They're actually pretty easy to get. It's just a matter of whether or not someone chooses to spend the money on them. You have a nice collection, but I'd just rather have my ring. It means something. I have one of those "mine" rings also..
