After the New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI, Tom Brady authorized the creation of a family version Super Bowl ring, and now it has been sold at auction for a record price.
According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, the ring has the word “Brady” on it and features “265 diamonds compared to the 283 that Tom Brady’s actual ring has and is about 10 percent smaller, has the same engraving that Brady’s ring would have.
If you remember, that 283 number was very significant for the Patriots, and for the Atlanta Falcons if we’re being honest.
The ring, put up by Goldin Auctions, sold Sunday morning for $344,927, which is a record for a football ring. The auction house did not release the name of the buyer or seller, per Rovell.
The previous record for a football ring was just over $230,000, which was the price fetched for the Super Bowl XXV ring of New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 2012.
