Saw this nice-looking, well-priced Championship Ring for sale eBay this week. How rare is that!

I am not affiliated with this Arena Football Championship ring, or the seller. I’m just here to blog as much as I can about the world of championship rings.
This player ring is a beauty, and with an asking price under $3,000.00 and the seller looking for offers, it looks as if this championship ring will sell at a fair and realistic price.
According to internet sources, here’s what I learned about the team, the Detroit Drive:
The Drive was an Arena Football League team and like we’re seeing with today’s New ENgland Patriots in the NFL, the Drive was a true championship dynasty. The Drive, started as an expansion team during the AFL’s second season. During the six seasons they played in Detroit, the Drive appeared in the AFL championship game in all six seasons they competed. They won the championship four times (1988, 1989, 1990 and 1992) and compiled a regular season & playoff record of 58-12 in six seasons – an amazing 83% winning percentage. The team’s two championship losses in 1991 and 1993 both came against the Tampa Bay Storm.
The owner of the Drive was Little Caesar’s pizza owner Mike Ilitch, who also owned the NHL’s historic Detroit Red Wings. The Drive drew quite well, averaging over 14,000 fans per game at Joe Louis Arena over their six seasons. When Ilitch purchased the Detroit Tigers in 1993 he realized the Drive was competition for the Tigers during the spring and summer months. So Ilitch sold the Drive to Joseph O’Hara in 1994, and O’Hara moved the franchise to Worcester, Massachusetts. When the team moved, it played one season as the Massachusetts Marauders in 1994 and then went out of business.
