glad to hear that they explained the ring was given to him in the 70's. i have no doubt that it is a real ring, made by jostens and belonged to the player. I stopped by their booth at the National on Thursday and wound up having a loud and heated debate. They believe I have an "agenda" against them, and they told me who there two ring experts were. They picked two people who, in my opinion are not qualified to assist them. The contact at Jostons they spoke to is my contact also. They asked her "Do you have records of what was presented to Fuzzy in 1968" and Heritage was told the records were lost years ago.
In my heated debate they stuck to their guns and they insisted they were fine with their research. I asked them to visit Scott Welkowsky who had a booth a row or two from theirs and they would learn more about the superbowl II ring than they ever knew. They said they would do this.
Glad they did the right thing and finally acknowledged the ring is not original. This is best for them and the US Governnment (the consigner) as the ring will not be returned.
For the record, I don;t have an agenda other than I would like auction houses to keep an open mind when presented with evidence that an item description needs to be changed sometimes.
