I bought an Astros World Series ring

Been a fan ever since I moved to Houston since ‘77. Mortgage paid off in 2 months, just started collecting a small pension from Shell. Discover offered me an interest free loan for 13 months if I pay on time.

So I decided to pull the trigger.

 

Very secretive on design. Only info they gave was Astros ring would have 150 stones. Delivery expected in 8 weeks, I pick it up at Minute Maid. Stay tuned.

Bought a WS ring?

 

I didn’t even know they sold them.

 

Are they exact replicas of the player rings?

 

Why would you need an interest free loan? They’re 20 bucks

Very nice RD!  A fantastic purchase, congrats! 

 

 

 

I have been an Astro's fam myself for 25 yrs or so, started watching them when I got into baseball as a kid and Louisiana had nothing to offer MLB wise and they were closest team/ballpark.

It's all in the link."Each ring will retail at the symbolic price of $11,112 for the 11 postseason games which led to the Astros' World Series win, which, when added with their 101 regular season victories, equates to 112 wins for the season."

I like you pal, but I gotta be honest. IMO buying this ring is kinda fucking gay. Waste of money.

ah, I guess I should have read it.  I don't like the sound of a symbolic price and a secret design.  I'm guessing they don't want you to total the value of the gems and metals.  Melt value should be at least 50% of price, but I'm guessing it is maybe 10%.  Either way, I'm sure you will enjoy it and it will be cool to wear to the games.
