Would look better with the old Bronco instead of the "futuristic" bronco...Who was the clown that came up with the idea of the "futuristic bronco" anyway? Didn't they realize that horses aren't like cars and they don't change much through the years?

Kind of like KC in the post Len Dawson era. A genuine KC Super Bowl ring would probably turn to dust if exposed to light. ;D

No freaking way Bucky's ring went for $3000+ and this one goes for less than $500

[Pat Bowlen]

I baked cookies with Lennie Dawson once. His son is an idiot.

[Garcia Bronco]

I saw the ring from Super Bowl 4....oddly...it was made of particle board...they couldn't even afford to get rings made.

when was the Chief's last superbowl win? Wasn't Bob Barker only 50 then?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

It would be hilarious if someone with a chief-related Ebay ID bid an extravagant amount of money at the last second and then disappeared.

[watermock]

Let Meck snag it. He deserves it and it will become our toy on the bus. It's neato cool.

Busick must be on hard times. Wonder what the story is.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Meck must be loaded.

[Garcia Bronco]

Meck must be loaded.


Ya think

[watermock]

Meck is a good man. I've met him. The real one, not the imposter with the big bus. While both are gracious, and carry cred however.

[crazyhorse]

Maybe I should go jack up the price a bit.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Only $400 so far? Hmmmmm. That would be a nice one to have at a reasonable price!

[watermock]

Let Meck have it. He's spent 100K on that stupid bus. He's earned it.

[Atlas]

Maybe I should go jack up the price a bit.

Then you'd probably win and since you live in a trailer park and have no money you would have to back out of the sale like you did the toilet plunger and the used toothbrush.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I should buy it, melt it down, and re-forge it into a cock ring.

[crazyhorse]

Then you'd probably win and since you live in a trailer park and have no money you would have to back out of the sale like you did the toilet plunger and the used toothbrush.

I dont live in a trailer park, and I have a few bucks of my own.

Are you crushed?

[maven]

Let Meck have it. He's spent 100K on that stupid bus. He's earned it.

Let the high bidder have it. He's earned it.

[No1BroncoFan]

I should buy it, melt it down, and re-forge it into a cork ring.
And you would do this how..? Doesn't KC have some regulations preventing you from keeping a forge in a trailer park?

It cost a hell of a lot more to buy a SB ring than 100,000 bucks. Just ask Bowlen and Planahan.

[Nuggets4]

What is that a championship ring for? It doesn't look like the '77 ring at all.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

And you would do this how..? Doesn't KC have some regulations preventing you from keeping a forge in a trailer park?

Ben

Heck all you need for that is a mould and an oven.

[Nuggets4]

OK, upon further review, unless I'm missing something, Busick never played for an AFC Championship team. I'm calling shenanigans.

This is why we need some sort of bat signal for B-Love. He'd know. Or even Slap, he's older than dirt. ;)

Cost them a 3rd round draft pick. Well worth it I say!! LOL

[crazyhorse]

Actually, it cost 2, 3rd rounders and 195,000 dollars if I remember correctly. But still worth it. I guess.

[watermock]

It's one of a kind. It's not a championship ring. Well, might be more, but it's a team ring, not a championship ring.

[Garcia Bronco]

I just bid eleventy million on it

[maven]

6 hours, 32 minutes left!

[Kaylore]

There are several problems with the ring. The first is that its listed as a championship ring, but it doesn't say what he was the champion of. The ring is very ugly, too. Either that black in the logo is some kind of enamel or it's dirt. 10kt gold is pretty cheap and not worth the hardness since the difference in strength between 10 and 14 kt is too small. In terms of the rings worth just based on materials, I'd say $300. I suppose you could argue its worth more just based on the alleged "history".

Have you looked in the mirror Khan? That Bling Bling you carry around your neck even Deion wouldn't touch.

SpoilSport! It's only worth 200 bucks. It's neato tho. It would melt down for about 50 bucks. All of those rings are ugly. Well the B2B rings are pretty neato. I don't think 450 is unreasonable for a collectors item.

He was on a division champion team I believe. I don't think it says AFC Champion.

Kaylore - we all know you are trying to con Meck into coming over to the store and buying a $10,000 ring from you.

[maven]

I don't think 450 is unreasonable for a collectors item.

Agree, for a collector it's a fun piece. Good conversation starter. I think the championship term, along with rare, is used as a title keyword. It's definately a team ring, not championship ring.

[Hotrod]

Ha! busted

[orange 4 life]

Maybe he was on the practice squad? just a thought?

there was no such thing back then.
it was either youre on the team or youre not.

i havent looked at the ring yet, but its probably just a division champs ring.
personally, i havent heard of such a thing, but who knows?

[maven]

but its probably just a division champs ring.


lightning bolts were div champs in 1981.

[Kaylore]

Kaylore - we all know you are trying to con Meck into coming over to the store and buying a $10,000 ring from you.
Shhhhhhhhh! tsk tsk

[orange 4 life]

could be from the 1984 afc west champs?

[orange 4 life]

lightning bolts were div champs in 1981.

does the ring say 1981?

i didnt even look at it yet.
i should probably do that before i start posting.
okay, im clicking the link now. :)

[orange 4 life]

got it.
just checked it out.

well, 1981 was a decent year for us, but we didnt win anything.

it says "team ring", but it doesnt say or imply that EVERYONE on the team had one.
personally, my guess is that JUST STEVE had a ring made for himself, and decided to put the logo and his name and position.

"rare" is the wrong word.
its "one of a kind", but then again, it doesnt have the significance
of being a TEAM ring either.
it'd be a nice little collectors item for sure, but i doubt its a TEAM ring
at all.
my guess is its about the same as if deion went on ebay and
started selling some of his "bling bling" that has his number on it.

[Meck77]

Well my impression was the guy probably had it made for himself. The ring is going to command alot more than 4 bills but it's not even close to the Bucky Dilts ring. Bucky's ring was around 2k with minutes to go. It doubled at the end. I wouldn't be surprised if this one does either.

There are ALOT of ring collectors on ebay.

There is no "Let someone win" in ebay. It's a free market. Winner take all.

Busick was a All Pac 10 Linebacker on the same USc team that featured Browner, DS49, Lott and Jeff Fisher in the Secondary.

Busick took over for Gradishar in 1984 and did lead the team in tackles. Busick went to the Chargers in 1986 but flamed out shortly thereafter.

Busick was a starting ILB for the 1984 Division Champs, who became champs when they beat Seattle, in Seattle, on the final Saturday of the season. Broncos won 31-14.

Hunley and Meck ate away Busick's time and made him expendable.

Congrats Meck

[Meck77]

Hey thanks. Somebody track Busick down. :) We'll see if he wants it back.

[PatsWin2002]

Congrats, Meck!

You got off a lot cheaper this time!

[Meck77]

This ring isn't even in the same league as the other. If Steve doesn't want it we'll mount it on da bus.

[PatsWin2002]

Meck, I was looking at all the Broncos stuff you've purchased, but this item really threw me. (OK, so I'm nosy.)

What's the story with this?

[BroncoBuff]

Yes, congrats, Meck. But I must agree with Nuggets4 - it doesn't look like an "official" ring. More like a "Franklin Mint Limited Edition, guaranteed to increase in value!"

[Meck77]

My ole man fought for the UPA aka Ukrainian Insurgent Army against the commie bastards in WWII. Bought it for him.

I knew there was a story. Other than a book you bought it was the only item you bought that didn't have any orange on it. !Booya!

Patsy, I'm not giving you my ebay id - I don't want anybody to know about that Realdoll that I bought used. :pity:

I hope that Busick didn't fall on hard times and have to sell his ring. Hate it when bad things happen to former Broncos...

Everything is handled Candy.

Busick went to the Rams first and then the Chargers the next year.

I didn't know he played on that USC team. Also had Marcus allen runing the ball and trhis team couldn't win a national championship???

I loved Busick. I was very upset when Danny boy traded for Hunely. That was a huge mistake. That very same season Denver traded him to the Rams he suffered a very severe season ending knee injury. In 1987 he gave it a try with the Chargers and couldn't do it.
