Taylor puts SB XXV ring up for auction
Just a day after his former team received their Super Bowl XLVI rings, New York Giants great Lawrence Taylor put his Super Bowl XXV ring up for auction.
The ring, won in 1990 when the Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills, is listed on the website of SCP Auctions and will be open for bids until late Saturday.
As of Thursday morning, the highest bid was $37,982 on what the auction house calls "arguably the most significant Super Bowl player ring ever offered publicly."
The ring has an unspecified reserve price that has not yet been met.
The historic piece of jewelry features "two football shaped diamonds on the face surrounded by worn blue enameling framed by seventeen smaller diamonds." Taylor's name and number, 56, also appear on the ring.
The 53-year-old Hall of Famer, considered one of the greatest linebackers in football history, retired in 1994 after a 13-year career with the Giants but has since struggled with legal and financial troubles.
He was arrested in 2010 for having sex with a 16-year-old prostitute. A judge sentenced him to six years of probation in March 2011 and he was forced to register as a sex offender.
Taylor was also convicted of tax evasion in 2000 and served three months of house arrest. He won two Super Bowls with the Giants, the first in 1986.
