Crazy that they are in the small town of Anderson, SC. Driven by there a few times actually.

Fraud is everywhere, be careful folks!

Not surprised with all the money in the industry fraud will always follow

As others say we need to be careful but some of the fakes look so so real

I see these sold as replicas all the time at shows. I assume it's a trademark or other type of rights violation and that he wasn't necessarily selling them as genuine?

That makes sense - who the heck would have 600 authentic championship rings?

The last sentence of the story saying this was the largest value seizure in South Carolina history is really not true. How much are 600 fake rings really worth?:rolleyes:

Article said if they were legitimate would be 15 million, so they are going off the value the store was presenting these items at.

I feel like there’s some padding of the stats going on here? :D
