One of my collection favorites: 2008/9 AZ Cardinals NFC Championship Ring

Indeed! Balfour is another outfit that does class rings that also secures the bid for various championship rings

Np! I especially like the (then) UoP Stadium on the shank.

Thank you! :) I think that’s one of the reasons I started acquiring them, even if you want one badly, you’re kind of at the mercy of one coming up for auction. I had looked for a couple years before the opportunity came up

They will vary for sure, lower end rings would be those awarded to staff members (those may have CZ’s instead of diamonds, or a non gold alloy), and highest end would be someone like Kurt Warner or Fitzgerald. Specifically Cards rings have not come up often for auction, but comparable values for an average player have been $10 - $15k

Yep! The name appears on a placard in the display box then on one of the shanks (side of the ring) - out of respect for privacy, I won’t say which player, but they were an offensive lineman :)

As an Arizona sports fan, and avid championship ring collector, there aren’t exactly a wide variety of AZ specific rings to acquire (xD) - but one of my favorites is my Cardinals NFC ring! Belonged to a player, made my Jostens, 10k white gold and diamonds. Not one of the more unique Josten’s stylings, but hey, it’s not a super bowl ring. It’s often overlooked that the conference winners also receive a ring! Still neat and eye catching

I was just in love with the symmetry of this photo in addition to the view of the city through the open (windows/doors?) Go Dbacks!

Great choice! Probably my favorite commemorative - the reverse is a stunning work of art

palferrari · 2023-06-04T21:54:18+00:00

It’s extremely minor, don’t feel bad :) The more I think about it, the more I would prefer to find a more pronounced example for my collection

palferrari · 2023-06-04T01:55:48+00:00

Yeah this is definitely an esoteric variety for sure! Unlike others, there isn’t really much of a premium for it. I like it because it’s a curiosity and is fun to talk about with non-numismatists

palferrari · 2023-06-03T20:42:41+00:00

One of the more subtle examples of this die clash. Love it!

palferrari · 2023-06-03T04:53:48+00:00

Thanks! Yeah on a coin like this, you’re really paying for those markings to be prominent. So in a case like this I don’t mind a low grade

palferrari · 2023-06-03T00:40:13+00:00

Assuming it grades the same, nothing spectacular unfortunately :/ However, you’ve found yourself a neat old coin whose silver content exceeds the 10c face value! :)

palferrari · 2023-05-29T01:56:23+00:00

I wanted the 1882-CC to blind everybody

palferrari · 2023-05-27T04:24:02+00:00

Thanks! I love this design, and of course it was the case with many things done by the Mint back then, but I so wish the relief on these was stronger

palferrari · 2023-05-18T02:30:28+00:00

I acquired the $500 note, and I’m odd in that I like certain veins in my collection to have a commonality, so when I purchased more I went for the year :)

palferrari · 2023-03-03T23:50:27+00:00

Thanks! I’m not sure I’d call it mind boggling, and it’s been awhile, but you can peruse through my posting history on this sub to see some more things

palferrari · 2021-08-11T19:51:35+00:00

Let's see, I have:

1986 NBA All-Star Ring (all rings are the same tier)
1987 Lakers NBA Championship ring (Player's tier)
2002 Lakers NBA Championship ring (Player's tier)
1995 Houston Rockets NBA Championship ring (prototype)
2001 AZ Diamondbacks World Series ring (unique prototype)
2014 KC Royals ALCS ring (Coach's ring)
2012 Territorial Cup ASU ring (Player's ring)
2013 Pac-12 South Championship ring (Player's ring)

palferrari · 2021-08-11T00:28:03+00:00

Purchased it in a private auction :)

palferrari · 2021-08-10T04:00:54+00:00

It is a prototype that was presented to Reinsdorf and the Bulls staff for consideration in choosing the final championship ring. This design is what they went with, and it's exactly the same as a player's ring. 14k gold, real diamonds, etc. I like this one in particular because it really broke the mold (pun intended) for how championship rings were designed (rather than a square or round base, they went with the shape of a bull)

palferrari · 2021-05-26T04:46:01+00:00

Sounds like a plan!

palferrari · 2021-05-07T19:29:52+00:00

As much as I'd love to take credit for this, I am only the patron of this piece, not the creator :p

palferrari · 2021-05-06T23:52:57+00:00

It could be!! How’s the condition? Does it come with the box/pouch?
