Ex-Giants WR Plaxico Burress’ Super Bowl ring sells for near-record

The Super Bowl XLII ring that once belonged to New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has officially sold at auction.

Heritage Auctions revealed on Sunday that the championship ring sold for a whopping $280,600, setting a near-record. It is the second-most expensive Super Bowl ring ever sold behind the Super Bowl V ring belonging to Baltimore Colts head coach Don McCafferty, which fetched a price of $300,000 in 2022.

Burress’ ring was put up for auction by an anonymous owner in February and was accompanied by a letter of authentication from the wide receiver himself.

“I, Plaxico Burress, certify this Super Bowl Championship ring, a copy of which is pictured below along with the ring box (on page two), is the actual, authentic ring I received on May 29, 2008 at a private ceremony held with my New York Giants teammates at Tiffany and Co. in New York City,” he wrote in the letter. “I received this actual ring as a member of the New York Giants who won Super Bowl XLII held February 3, 2008 against the New England Patriots in Phoenix, AZ.

“I further certify this ring is the one and only ring and that no duplicate copies were produced.”

The date on the authentication letter suggests Burress sold the ring in November (11/16/24).

Burress, who is currently working as a FOX Sports Radio host, has dealt with a series of legal and financial issues in the aftermath of Super Bowl XLII, beginning with an accidental self-inflicted wound in 2008 that landed him in jail for 20 months.

A first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2000 NFL draft, Burress retired following the 2013 season.
