IrishWing19 6 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Saw this over on Reddit. Guy put up a photo on Facebook of a ring he found in the Andiamo's in the RenCen. Looks like it's the real deal, hope he does the right thing and returns it to the Wings. Edited March 1, 2012 by IrishWing19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trastion 22 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 Most likely the story is BS. I have a picture of one of Doug Brown's Stanley Cup rings on my hand next to my wedding ring (which is pretty unique). I took the picture at a signing that he was letting people try on one of his rings while signing and taking pics. So it would not be hard for this person to get a picture with a wings ring, especially one that may do signings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 I don't think the guy is a ****** for taking a picture and posting about it. I would too. I think he's a ****** for asking "should I sell it or call the Wings?" Jackass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 I don't believe that's the real ring, or atleast I can't see the numbers. Legitimate Stanley Cup rings have each players number on it, and quite frankly that would be the first thing I took a picture of if I had just found a "real" ring.

jroc86 90 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 Thats not Hanks ring. The 2008 rings are the Ruby encrusted ones surrounded by gold - this one is a replica you can buy for a couple hundred bucks.

Solidus 6 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 Isn't there some law that says if you find something you have to report it to police? And if no one claims it then you can keep it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Heaten Report post Posted March 2, 2012 The real rings have 6 diamonds across the top of the Stanley cup carving. The replica's in the ebay link have 4 diamonds across the top of the cup. His has 6 diamonds. Also the fakes look cheap and fake. Is there a place you can buy quality replicas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
