Albersheim's 2015 June Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/7/2015
The 1978 season concluded with the Steelers winning Super Bowl XIII to become the first franchise in the NFL to win three Super Bowl titles. The championship run was led by quarterback Terry Bradshaw who had 28 TDs (a career high) and the team's vaunted Steel Curtain defense. Bradshaw put together the best year of his career to that point, becoming only the second Steeler to win the NFL MVP award. Ten Steelers players were named to the Pro Bowl team, and four were judged as first-team All-Pros by the AP. The team would go on to beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl 35-31 (the most exciting Super Bowl up until that point).
Offered is a salesman's sample of the ring that was presented to Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw for the Steelers' 1978 Super Bowl win.
- Three large CZ stones and 27 smaller CZs form a brilliant presentation on the ring's face, surrounded by "PITTSBURGH STEELERS WORLD CHAMPIONS."
- One shank displays "BRADSHAW" with a beautifully enameled Steelers helmet motif.
- The other shank exhibits a Super Bowl trophy design and "SUPER BOWL XIII / 1978 / 35-31."
- The inside of the size 10.75 – 11 ring band carries the "Jostens 10K" hallmark and the ID code "B8448-001."
- The ring weighs 41.1 grams (1.45 ounces).
NEAR MINT. Sweet ring!
