World series trophy question

Sports - rings:

Thanks for the reply. You say you have seen multiple engraving styles and fonts on the 12" trophys, but have you seen, and should there be, different WORDING on the SAME year's trophy?

here are some pictures with different wording and/or type styles.

Thanks for the photos? And these are all legit?

I notice a difference on the Dodgers press pin in the first two photos. Am I seeing things or is there a difference?

Historic Auctions in FL had a white sox rep one that was 400.00

Just because you didn't see one before dose not make it so.

If HA sold one for $400 than that's the deal of the century!

I have no way of knowing anymore what's real and what's not real. I believe, like with sports rings, trophies are made over time. if you are a player and want to order one ten years later, fine, Balfour will accomodate you. However, they sometimes run out of materials and use different or modified parts, or remake parts. I have seen that with championship rings.

They had it in their aucitons at different prices.

The first time it started at one price, and never sold, they kept dropping the price auction after auction until they started it at 400.00.

I have no idea if it sold or not, but it was a half scale version of the white sox's from 05.

They have had rings before also, but they were replica's.

I was going to get it, to add to my collection, as I have superbowl trophy's, heisman's and a basketball, but I didn't have the money.

If you go to this page,http://www.historicauctions.com/main/pricesrealized/
you'll see they had a players one from 96 that went for 6462.50

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.
