I havent seen any Pats AFC rings, will let you know for sure if i come acorss any.

Go Pats

Can't wait to see the new Blackhawk's rings by Jostens. Last few years rings were handed out on 9/30, so should be around that date. I just hope their fan collection rings are larger than the measly sized rings they are selling to Heat, Cardinals and Ravens fan. I hope they are the size of "shareholder" rings for Packers, those were the largest rings I ever seen.

There is something fishy here! I am on ebay 3-4 times a day. Yet somehow I missed out on a Seahawk’s NFC championship ring selling for 4K!? Rangers AL Championship ring selling for 4K!? Argonauts CFL championship ring selling for 6500!? I would have bought all 3! That is crazy! How would I have missed out? To be honest I would have sold all 3 rings eventually for a profit but I don’t understand how I missed out!? I never saw them listed till after sales were done! And then Argonauts ring is now listed for 24K? And whatever happened to the Denver 1998 ring sold by TJ’s? I can’t find it anywhere?

Congrats Sports-rings! That is very awesome looking ring, especially love the Yankee stadium on the shank, it is beautiful. It is a lot better than the fenway park on Boston’s 2004 ring made by Jostens.

Wow! great story mac!

I made offers on Tj's 2002 Lakers, 2007 Redsox and 1999 FSU ring, all about 50-60% of his asking price, all denied. In todays economy I think I made fair offers, I don't think he will get what he is asking for.

Thank you sports-rings, that was interesting stuff. I had wondered how come I had never seen the Pats ring on display, that makes sense now. By the way, did you see the 1997 Broncos ring on ebay? I really can't believe how bad the quality of that ring is. It totally looks like a cheap knock-off. I have no idea how T.J comes across so many rings, it seems like he has sold more rings than anyone else.

I love the Patriots 2004 ring, as a Patriots fan it is the Holy Grail. I can’t believe Pawn Stars bought a genuine players ring for 21K. I would have paid that guy 25K for it. I don’t know if Rick Harrison still has it, but I am sure he is asking for 100K. Speaking of rings, any St. Louis Cardinals fan here? There is a genuine 2011 World Series ring for sale on ebay. It's a coach’s ring, same as players. First one I have seen up for Auction. Rather amateurish quality pics by seller, but never the less, great piece of Cardinals history.

I don’t blame Steinbrenner, It is ridiculous how many rings are some teams handing out. The annoying part is that every couple of years there are players that file grievance with NFLPA for not getting a super bowl ring despite being on the team or practice squad. Yet there are groundskeepers, accountants, marketing people and secretaries walking around with rings, sometimes exact rings as players. I know Lakers and 49ers gave exact same rings to everyone including towel boys, and even cheerleaders got exact same rings as players. I think that is why Cuban did not want to make rings either. (I don’t know if people realize that or not, but the rings he made at the time were the most expensive in NBA history, about 90 grams and 10 carrot of diamonds….far surpassing any rings Lakers ever made. Miami Heat topped them last year with 115 grams and almost 11 carrots. I am sure those are just random facts, had nothing to do with Heat trying to one-up Mavericks rings….right) I can respect teams sharing the wealth but I would keep Players ring different than everyone else’s ring. Pat Riley made a point of keeping the Heat’s players ring bigger than everyone else’s, even coaches and front office executives got smaller rings. They did however hand out a lot of rings as you can see them on ebay all the time, some gold with cz and some none precious metal with cz. 2003 and 2004 Patriots gave out completely different looking rings to staff than the ones that Players, coaches and high level executive got.

I am still surprised Steelers voted to get watches instead of AFC championship rings. Granted the last few by Jostens were basically all like, ie Carolina Panthers, AZ Cardinals, Seahawks and 2007 Patriots . However Patriots 2011 AFC ring by Herff Jones is pretty nice and I really like to 49ers ring by Tiffany. The way I see it,"The ring is the thing", I would always take a ring over a watch.

Sports-rings.com: What is the deal with the 1997 Denver Broncos super bowl ring? Why does it look like a really bad fake ring? It looks like a really poor quality handmade ring. I think it was made by DCI. In comparison 1998 ring is made by Jostens and it is flawless craftsmanship. Thanks in advance and really enjoyed your blog on the Steelers watch.

FSU's ACC and Organe Bowl rings

Beautiful ring ridelow71. I am specially impressed by the size. I bought a few fan rings, Texas Rangers and Dallas mavericks, for my testate they are way too small, but great qualify work by Jostens.

^^^^^^ Sports-rings.com I am a newbie myself but welcome. I have seen your website and blog, it is pretty awesome! Like you, I keep looking for bigger and bigger rings, I am assuming the new Miami Heat ring will be done by jostens again and hoping it will top the 115 grams that was the last ring. New Blackhawks ring should also be largest Stanley cup ring too....October is going to be fun.

Former 'Bama's long snapper Carson Tinker....

Yes, they are getting 2 rings, just have not been able to find pics yet.

Here is FSU ACC ring...

Hey guys, check this out, I think you will be amazed. If you don't have time then fast forward to 1:58

You welcome ridenlow. Judging by box it looks like Tiffany made the rings. I must say I am impressed how their newly revamped championship division has been landing big contracts. They made Redskins SB rings in 80's and then nothing for a long time. They are making a great comeback. I think shanks could have been better, I am amazed by how much details they can get on rings these days, ie Toronto Argounts ring’s I think is amazing. I think it looks better than Ravens rings.

Here you go....

This is now beyond ridiculous, deliberately putting up the wrong score on the ring!? Really classy! http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/69265/baylor-takes-some-liberties-with-bowl-rings

Ridenlow71: Your welcome man. I think Jostens has been doing a fantastic job with the recent Cup rings, I just hope this time instead of all diamond top they would incorporate colored stones matching Blackhawks logo, I think that would be really cool.

Ridenlow71: Great article comparing most recent Stanley Cup rings. Blackhawks new ring should be largest ever Stanley cup ring. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/how-do-boston-bruins-stanley-cup-rings-compare-to-other-champs?urn=nhl,wp14082

Guys, I hate Miami Heat as does most of the country. But I am thinking their new rings will be the largest championship rings ever made! Their last ring at 115 grams was the largest/heaviest NBA championship ring ever made, even larger than all super bowl rings, including Steelers 2008 and Patriots 2003. I think it is only second to 2003 Marlins ring. Since rings keep getting bigger year by year, their next ring would be around 125-130 grams…making it the largest championship ring ever. Their last 2 rings were made by Jostens, I am assuming they will continue with them. Unfortunately we have to wait till October, but I am pretty sure it is going to be the biggest championship rings ever!
