“Pin-Up” of the Week: New England Patriots Super Bowl XLII Champions Perfect Season “Phantom” Pin

This is what collectors refer to as a “phantom” pin.  According to this pin, the Patriots won Super Bowl XLII and had a perfect 19-0 season.  I think we all can agree this didn’t happen because the Patriots lost to the Giants.  Pin manufacturers make these things up ahead of time so they can strike while the iron is hot.  Somehow pins like this find their way out onto the secondary market, even though they were most likely suppose to be destroyed.  Collectors love stuff like this and these pins can command some insane prices.  The above pin has a Buy It Now price of $999.19.

I have a few “phantom” pins in my personal collection.  I have a Tampa Bay Rays 2008 World Champions pin and a 2009 Phillies World Champions pin.  Both of which I purchased from The Pin Man.

Super Bowl Ring for $10.00

There are a lot of collectors that would like to own this ring for only $10.00.  Je’Rod Cherry who was on the Super Bowl XXXVI Championship team has donated his ring to charity.  It is made of 14-karat white gold and contains 142 diamonds.  The ring will be given away during a raffle.  The cost is $2.00 per ticket and you must purchase at least 5 tickets.  

Drawing Date: Thursday, November 27, 2008

Entry Deadline: 9:00 a.m. EST November 27, 2008

For more information about the ring, charity, and Je’Rod Cherry, please check out their Netraffle website.  It takes a lot for an athlete to giveaway a ring such as this.

 

The Dolphins Win!!!

At least they won sooner than last year.  That has to be a good sign.
