Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor put his Super Bowl XXV ring up for auction - FOX Sports

Just a day after his former team received their Super Bowl XLVI rings, New York Giants great Lawrence Taylor put his Super Bowl XXV ring up for auction.

The ring, won in 1990 when the Giants defeated theBuffalo Bills, is listed on the website of SCP Auctions and will be open for bids until late Saturday.

As of Thursday morning, the highest bid was $37,982 on what the auction house calls “arguably the most significant Super Bowl player ring ever offered publicly.”

NY Post:
If this is not the exact ring the Giants will receive you can be sure it is very, very close. The prize is a 14k white gold 30 MM ring with surrounding diamonds, sapphire band (naturally, to represent Giants blue) and diamond footballs.
The wording “New York Giants 2011 World Champions’’ surrounds the entire ring. The total carat weight is 1.36 in diamonds and 1.11 in sapphires.
The top of the ring features the four Lombardi Trophies the Giants have won in their franchise history and also the famous “ny” team logo. On one side of the ring is the player’s name and uniform number, and on the other side is the word “Giants’’ along with the 21-17 score of Super Bowl XLVI, when the Giants defeated the Patriots for the championship for the second time in four years.
The ring was designed with input from Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, general manager Jerry Reese, coach Tom Coughlin and team captains Eli Manning, Justin Tuck and Zak DeOssie as well as representatives from Tiffany.
