Opening bid and final bid are two different animals. Possibly a low opening bid to generate interest, to reflect seller's purchase cost, or a wild guess that's too low. He mentioned an earlier sale for $3000. Was that for a known player's ring? This opening bid may also reflect that the original owner of this ring is unknown. Have you contacted the seller to ask? As for the color of the stone, description said there were at least a couple reunion shows. To me that sounds like two different production runs. That may explain the difference in color.
