2014 St. Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl Championship Ring - North Carolina Wolfpack - Hakim Jones

I am putting this championship ring up for sale/trade. Only the championship team and coaches were issued these rings. There was one, and may only be one, Bitcoin Bowl in 2014. This may be the only ring of it's kind that ever comes available for purchase. If you are not familiar with championship rings, each one is personalized for the individual team, player name, and number. Approximately size 7.75-8, weighing 38.2 grams (Per ringsofchampions.com link below). Manufactured by Balfour (Stamped: Balfour CEL "The strength of the wolf is the pack"). Looks to be in mint condition, review all photos closely and let me know if you have questions. I purchased this ring from a credible retailer that specializes in championship rings, and included their original link with more photos and an actual video of the ring below:

Championship ring values can also highly depend on the actual player the ring was created for. Hakim Jones was one of the top defensive players on the team at the time of the 2014 St Petersburg Bowl, and led the team in snaps during the championship game:
NC State Player Profile: https://gopack.com/sports/football/roster/hakim-jones/2839
AS A RS JUNIOR (2014 Championship year):
• Leading tackler on the team with 80 stops.
• Led the team in tackles in the season opener vs. Georgia Southern, against top-ranked Florida State and in the bowl victory over UCF.
• In for a season-high 80 snaps in Florida at the Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl.

As one of these has never become available for sale or auction that I am aware of prior, nailing down a price as a Bitcoin collectible will be difficult. I will say the limited edition Cas coins for the Bitcoin Bowl can sell at $800+ with hundreds made (higher on Ebay) and looking to only increase in value over time. This ring I would deem much more valuable than the coins. This is a one of one player specific ring, and again there may never be one that becomes available for sale.

Open to offers at this time. I would like to trade for loaded coins (Cas/BTCC), but open to liquid BTC or combinations of both. I will be keeping this for my personal collection if I do not sell or trade, so I have decided not to auction currently. Thank you to Scott at ringsofchampions.com for supplying information about this ring in my listing.

What a beautiful ring Spokanistan!

 ;D it is amazing, but I am a bit biased  ;D

I am happy to announce this AWESOME ring has a new owner. I just wanted to drop a note and thank everyone that reached out to me for details and offers. We have an amazing community, and I'm proud to be a part of it with all the craziness going on in the world. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

congrats on sale!

Can I ask what it fetched? ball park even - just in case another one comes up for sale, I was interested but it was too small to fit me (if I buy one, I want to be able to wear it lol)

Thank you. I traded with a forum member and no BTC was exchanged. Out of respect of the person who acquired the ring, I will let them decide if they would like to PM you the trade details and apprx value. That’s probably not the answer you were looking for, but I respect forum members’ privacy.  8)

it is an answer I can easily respect though! and trades are good too! more goodies, right? lol

Congrats!

If I went to NC State, I would have been compelled to pm an offer. Beautiful ring regardless of course. But like Stryfe said, gotta be able to wear it right?!  :D

btw that field is not far from my house - maybe an hour
