Am I missing something in the article or did you read that elsewhere? I'm reading above that LT is selling it.

And if I was the son of a Hall of Famer, I darn sure wouldn't sell his ring. That's gauche.

It's been reported last week that LT was as surprised that his ring was up for Auction as everyone else. He claims he gave the ring to his son and said it was his son's decision to do whatever he wanted with it.

Well the ring sold for 200K+

Saw it in a different article, but here's another link to an article.

On Thursday, we told you the sad story of Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring going up for auction. It turns out Taylor isn't the one selling the ring.

Rap Sheet: Tainted glory
Ian Rapoport explains why, in his opinion, the news that Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring is up for sale sullies the status of the sport's holy grail. More ...
NFL Network contributor and Fox Sports Insider Jay Glazer spoke with Taylor, who was unaware the ring was for sale. Apparently, Taylor's son put the ring up for auction. The Hall of Famer doesn't have a problem with it because he gave the ring to his son and feels he can do whatever he wants with it.

The bidding for the ring, which ends on Saturday night, was $37,892 on Thursday morning. Just one day later, it has skyrocketed to $89,568. A six-figure final pricetag looks inevitable.

While the story is no longer as depressing as it once seemed, it still doesn't feel right that soon a rich sports collector will wind up with the ring.
