"I wrote down the player's name and then proceeded to goggle him and found thru wiikipedia that he was a player on the team and had some important contributions.
Chris, after I received the ring, I learned that he was a con-man and had never played for the team. He created a false history of himself on the internet, (most of it on wikipedia) and went around for years and told everyone he played on that college team. He went to official events and signed tons of autographs, and even got a major ring manufacturer to make him a national champions ring."
Mike, you're willing to go the distance and put in the time on the investigative "leg-work" to thoroughly research the background of a questionable piece. Many take the road less traveled, to the unfortunate compromising of the integrity in the sports collectable arena.
