1. Eimonclerr NBA or moncler NFL, championship rings can be considered as a great honor. It stands to reason that those who possess a moncler ring will cherish it greatly. However, in reality, there is a website in the United States dedicated to selling these championship rings. Here, you might not only find the unexpected but treasures too - for instance, Shaquille O'Neal's famous championship ring was sold for 40 thousand U.S. dollars! Fans flaunt championship rings and NFL football jerseys as a crazy fan would do, idol’s signature photos or even used gloves and hats can serve as fine collections. Recently, a fan on a forum showcased his collection which included NFL and Boston Red Sox's last season championship rings! The fan mentioned he bought these rings from a website spending up to tens of thousands of dollars. The sale price on this site for various championship rings reached many thousands, ranging from basketball to football and baseball, covering all varieties comprehensively. Even a veteran sports journalist Lowell said: "If you want to buy a genuine championship ring, now is the best time to start." Certificates of sale of goods are all available on the website year-round, with at least 500 more than pieces of championship rings for sale, yet the boss Tim Robbins’ own collection is even richer.
Tim worked in the sports industry in the early years across several departments, after which, compared to production work with 20th Century Fox, Warner, ESPN broadcast companies, he has deep friendships with people involved in all kinds of sports. This also brought him great convenience for his collection. As early as 20 years ago, Tim created a special shop to buy and sell all kinds of sporting goods in pawn shops. A few years ago, he moved his pawn business online, opening new sources of income. Not only soccer fans around the world have chipped in for the acquisition of these valuable collections, but some even contact the seller online, Tim, expanding the source of goods. Moreover, each item on Tim’s website comes with a certificate of authenticity, meaning that the items for sale are genuine!
On the origin of the items, Tim frankly stated: "I get a lot of things through connections, I usually buy items that look reliable. For example, someone may give a ring as a gift to a relative, if this relative is too tight on budget, I’ll take the opportunity to buy it cheap. However, in our collection, most belong to the team staff, who are paid less compared to athletes and face difficulty more easily, thus they sell the ring."

Better still, the NFL Washington Redskins team's championship rings in 1991 had never been traced since, but a former player sold a ring due to debt. His former teammate Tim called for the sale of this gold ring, moving from a rare species to a common level on the street, the price plummeted.
