Just ahead of Super Bowl 57, a ring from one of the players on the first Super Bowl winning team is going on the auction block–for the second time in a couple of months.
Ray Nitschke’s Super Bowl I ring, which sold for $125,331 through Classic Auctions in December, was just added to SCP Auctions’ lineup with a $50,000 opening bid.
Only three other original Super Bowl I player rings have come to market over the years. SCP sold offensive lineman Steven Wright’s for a then-record $75,000 in 2012, Jerry Kramer’s went for $125,000 in 2016, and last year Fuzzy Thurston’s realized a price of $216,000.
The record price for a Super Bowl ring was set last year when the one presented to Baltimore Colts head coach Don McCafferty for Super Bowl V went for $300,000.
