Ray Guy sells his three Super Bowl rings for $80,100
Former Raiders punter and perennial Hall of Fame snub Ray Guy saw his three Super Bowl rings sell for $80,100 this week as part of a bankruptcy filing. The seven-time Pro Bowler was forced to sell the rings after filing for bankruptcy this spring.
An unnamed buyer purchased the rings from a Los Angeles auction house. The rings, from Super Bowl XI, XV and XVIII, contained 28, 35 and 23 diamonds, respectively. They were won during Guy's 14-year NFL career; the first two in Oakland and the final one in 1984 after the team moved to Los Angeles. Strangely, each ring was a different size, suggesting that, like a pair of pants, Super Bowl rings can run big or small.
When asked by the Augusta Chronicle about the sale, Guy declined to elaborate.
