Via boston.cbslocal.com. Why the jewelry break up? Just a year and a half after getting his championship ring for Super Bowl LIII, Josh Gordon is going to be auctioning it off in August.
Heritage Auctions has given this heavy bling with 8.25 carats of diamonds and 1.6 carats of blue sapphires, a starting value of $100,000. But since this is the last ring of the Brady era, it should go for a lot more.
The auction house has a great description. “When we sold a ring from the Patriots fifth Super Bowl Championship a little over a year ago, we were sure we’d never see another ring quite so massive and ostentatious, but we’re pleased to be so quickly proven wrong by the offered specimen. The addition of a sixth Lombardi Trophy to the face of this gargantuan ring turns the ultimate symbol of NFL achievement into a monster visible from outer space, spanning a full two inches (2″) from top to bottom.”
“Now that the superstar quarterback has traded New England snow for Tampa Bay sunshine, we can be assured that this is the last Patriots ring of the Tom Brady era, that historic half-dozen making him the GOAT just like it did for Michael Jordan. This particular example was issued to the man who caught Brady’s 500th career touchdown pass on October 4, 2018, a thirty-four-yard connection that was Gordon’s first trip to paydirt with the Pats.”
Damn...How much you think it will go for?
