Agent: Brandon Spikes’ 2011 AFC Championship Game ring stolen before eBay auction (Update)
(Correction: An earlier version of this story erroneously stated that Brandon Spikes listed the ring for sale on eBay.)
Brandon Spikes’ agent says the former Patriots linebacker’s 2011 AFC Championship ring was stolen before being listed on eBay. Gary Uberstine told the Boston Heraldthat the online auction site has been notified and that Spikes will file a police report. The ring was recently posted on eBay for an asking price of $19,499. According to the listing, a certificate of appraisal values it at $18,000.
In the 2011 AFC Championship Game, the Patriots defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 23-20, to advance to Super Bowl XLVI. The Giants defeated the Patriots, 21-17, in that game to receive the rings that mattered most that season: Super Bowl championship rings. The Patriots just unveiled their Super Bowl rings from the 2014 season, but Spikes never won a Super Bowl in his four seasons in New England (2010-2013). He spent the 2014 season with the Buffalo Bills.
Spikes was cut from the Patriots last week after his damaged car was found abandoned on a highway near Gillette Stadium early on the morning of June 7. He was subsequently charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury crash, operating a motor vehicle negligently to endanger, speeding, and failure to stay within marked lanes.
