So How Much Is A Super Bowl Ring Really Worth?

By Joseph McDaniel, Esq.

You have to wonder about a bunch of guys who'd take away a guy's last Super Bowl Ring, just because he defaulted on a loan and filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. But such brutal lenders exist.

And I was at first inclined to say that they were too intense in their collection efforts against Charlie Bach, but then I read somewhere that Super Bowl Rings were worth twenty thousand dollars or more!

Then I read an article suggesting that Super Bowl Rings were worth more like five thousand dollars, and it was a very well informed article.

But that was a different design of Super Bowl Ring, apparently. Which still leaves me a little confused about their actual value.

And I find my humor where I can these days, because the United States is still in a depression. But for some reason I find it ironic that it's easier to get a good value on a Beanie Baby Collection than a diamond wedding ring or a Super Bowl Ring.

Bear in mind that a Super Bowl Ring is not exempt in Arizona, but even if it there were an Arizona Exemption Statute for Super Bowl Rings, it would still be lost to Charlie; an exemption does not protect property against a properly perfected security interest.

Now, you may wonder what a Super Bowl Ring looks like. I certainly did, after all the excitement about them. So here's a picture of a Super Bowl Ring; actually, it's a picture of TWENTY-SEVEN Super Bowl Rings, and according to The Boston Globe, they were stolen. I'm left with this question: who would buy 'em?
