Not really, but his cock ring would be worth only the $1.50 he paid for the Crackjack

So who’s selling it, A-Rod or his cousin? I’d want a certified appraisal.

The ring is as authentic as A-Rod himself.
The ‘diamonds’ are glass — as fragile and hollow as A-Rod’s intellect.
The purpose of both A-Rod and the ring — to cheat the viewer.

don’t expect more than 33% of people to read more than the title of a story… reading? puh-lease, that’s for us smarty pants, haha… most stories have comments that show the person didn’t read any of the story.

It’s not his authentic WS ring, it’s a copy he had made and gave to his cousin.

After reading this the Yanks really should part ways with Arod, i mean he won 1 WS and he gives away his ring? Yea Yanks dont need guys like this, we want guys like Mo who are ready to fill their other hand full of rings and would never part with them

How much do you think the Hanster could get for that .342 amulet that Scrooge McLoria cursed him with? Maybe an oil company executive will buy it and prices will go down.

Seems only appropriate that A-rod would be making copies of his one and only world series ring, thereby diluting the value of World Series rings everywhere. His cousin is not trying to snub him by selling it, he probably did not want to ask his cuz for the bucks to hire the lawyer he needs. But as far as A-rod needing $, didn’t I see that he is selling his $38 million mansion? I honestly did not see the reasons…but has he been losing at those poker games while rehabbing?

I wonder how much the diamonds alone are worth…or gems, I guess I should say.

It’s not ARod that selling it, so I don’t understand your comment about ARod not hurting for money.

If this is just a copy he had made, who would want it anyway? Well, I’m sure there are some Yankee fans who probably have too much money (like the Yankees), so one of them might want it, so he can pretend he is part of the team (like Green Bay Packer “owners”).

Good find, Rays fan. Now 40K sounds like approximately the worth of the ring.

To quote Salinger, it’s lousy with diamonds.

You’d think the Evil Empire would be unhappy with it anyway.

I love how the article spins it though: even A-Rod’s cousin can’t stand him now. He’s tired of schlepping his dry cleaning around. lol Also loved the caption w/ the pic. Me-ow.

No, it is an identical copy he had made for his cousin. Bloomberg reports that it is “one of many copies” he had made as gifts. Link to Bloomberg report:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-24/alex-rodriguez-s-cousin-selling-world-series-ring-at-auction.html

As such, I think the only reason it might fetch $40K is Sucart’s notoriety.

How big is the diamond asterisk on the ring?

At least 2 carats?

It’s his own ring that he gave to his cousin

From original story:
“It’s a unique item,” Goldin said. “There is no doubt that Alex is the greatest player of his generation, and this was his only World Series victory.”

As ARod obviously is not hurting for 40k, this has to be some spite thing, no?

By: raysfan1

raysfan1 — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:52:09 +0000

I don’t think it’s A-Rod’s own ring–I think they’re saying its a ring he ordered and gave his cousin.

I’m not exactly plugged in to the world of sports memorabilia, but if Schilling’s bloody sock can fetch almost 100K, no way A-Rod’s World Series ring gets only 40.
