Why would a person sell their Super Bowl ring?
Posted by Chris

krbsbxxxi.jpgAs you know, I'm very close to what goes on in the world of the Green Bay Packers. Being a collector and a person who buys and sells Packers stuff, how wouldn't I be?

That brings me to today's blog topic: Why on earth would someone sell their Super Bowl ring? From what I can remember there have been at least a few players from the Packers Super Bowl XXXI team who have now sold their Super Bowl rings.

I just got done browsing through Lelands' awesome new auction, and it appears another Packer player has done the unthinkable. Packers D lineman, Bob Kuberski is another guy who doesn't need his bling bling from 1997.

Now, I'm not sure what financial problems Bob might be having, and I assume that he might not be having any at all, but why would you sell a SB ring?

I just Wikipedia'd Bob and it appears he is a VP at INVESCO AIM Investments... Sounds like a solid gig to me.'

From what I can remember, SB XXXI Packers members that have sold their rings: Ron Cox, Lamont Hollingquest, Kuberski and I heard Andre Rison threw his in a lake or something (although I don't believe it).

I couldn't agree more ... what the heck?!? Like you, Chris, I remember where I was in 1997 when the Packers beat the Patriots in SB 31. You would think he would want to keep that memory for the rest of his life.

Kuberski was at the 10 year reunion they did the weekend before the season opener in 1996. I'm building a 16x20 team signed SB Ring pic and was able to get him.

Bob was not selling his ring, It had been stolen. It was pulled from the auction by NFL security and returned to him.
