World series trophy question

[sports-rings]

a half scale version is not a real version. Some resellers will try to get $8,000 - $10,000 for the 12" world series trophy.

I won a yankee one at auction for around $4,000 six months ago and was aided in the fact that the auction company was small and not too well known.

They really do sell in the 4,000 - 5,000 price range or more if it's a player's or Yankee trophy.

When a player in the NFL wins the superbowl, they have the chance to buy a half scale copy of the lombardi.

It cost's them 5000.00 to do it.

IT's still a real version of it, as is the players copy of the baseball trophy, and same for the college football trophy.

You'll never be able to buy the real one as the teams own them and won't sell them.
THe only one that could end up on the market is the balt colts first trophy, as when they left baltimore, they took the trophy with them, and when I was at Jim Irsay's house, he had it in a box in the garage, he didn't even show it off. I thought it was odd, but he said they had to hide it because the colts really own it but his dad took it when they left in the cover of darkness.

I had a chance at a yankee 96 trophy taken by the courts from a guy claiming bankruptcy and owed money. It was mine for a moment till the courts gave some of his stuff back to him. 400.00 IS A STEAL ALRIGHT.

but it turned out the $400 world series trophy was smaller and a replica than the player's 12" version. it was not real.

on the player's lombardi trophy, it is up to the football clubs to request that they be made. my gut feeling is that there are only two teams that have ever done this as these trophies come up for auction sometimes. infact, there is one on ebay now for one of them.

the rams did it for superbowl 34 and the cowboys did it during their 3 superbowls in 4 years. the trophies are about 17" and the real lombardi trophy is about 24".

there are many people out there who make very good replicas but the only ones I have ever come accross that were real are the ones mentioned above.
