1972 Cincinnati Reds NL Champs Ring - Gamble??

[slidekellyslide]

Does anyone know who this ring may have belonged to? I know it's not a player ring because it doesn't have a number and I have seen 3 other front office/Scout rings all with the "C" instead of a number.

I suspect this is David G. Gamble; Board of Directors Cincinnati Reds. You can see this on page 11 of the 1972 World Series Program (Riverfront Stadium edition).

Does Lelands have an auction archive?? I can't find one on their site.

[Dave Grob]

Lelands has recently redone their website. With this new site, there does not appear to be a search function. Really a shame and kind of short sighted as I know of a number of serious collectors who will search old auctions for items they want to add as their collections evolve.

When they would have found an item in say the Leland's archive, they would then try to locate it and buy. The obvious place to start is with the auction house that sold the item. That auction house could then reach out to the buyer and try to broker the sale, thus making money again for selling the same item for very little effort.

I have been and remain a fan of Mike Heffner and Lelands, no matter what the website looks like.

Leland's archive search is still there...a least in my mobile version. When in an auction select "All Auctions" and enter your search term, or you can select a previous specific auction. I just worked for me.

That's one of the best looking rings made. If I was a Reds fan I'd have to have it.
