Plaxico Burress' Super Bowl XLII Ring Auctioned Amid Financial Challenges

The former Giants wide receiver, known for his game-winning catch in 2008, is parting with his championship ring, which could fetch over $100,000.

Plaxico Burress' Super Bowl XLII ring is being auctioned through Heritage Auctions, with bids currently starting at $33,000 and expected to exceed $100,000 by the February 22 deadline.
The ring commemorates the New York Giants' historic 2008 victory over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, featuring Burress' game-winning touchdown catch with 35 seconds remaining.
Reports suggest Burress may have pawned the ring in 2024, as it is being sold on behalf of an anonymous new owner, authenticated by a signed letter from Burress.
The former NFL star has faced significant financial and legal troubles over the years, including a prison sentence for a firearm incident and multiple financial disputes and foreclosures.
Burress, who now co-hosts a FOX Sports Radio show and owns a juice bar, has largely stepped away from the public eye since retiring from professional football.
