The Vikings finished with a record of eleven wins, two losses, and one tie. They lost Super Bowl XI to the Oakland Raiders 32–14. To date, this would be the Vikings last appearance in the Super Bowl.
This ring features a CZ-encrusted football that sits atop of a purple stone, surrounded by the engraved '1976 Minnesota Vikings.' One shank features the NFL logo, Lombardi Trophy and 'NFC Champions, Super Bowl XI.' the other shank has the Vikings logo, and the engraved Foreman 44 (his jersey #). Jostens 10k engraved in the band of this size 11 ring that weighs 34.8 grams.
Chuck Foreman was a 5x Pro Bowl selection (1973-77) and 3x NFC Champion (1973, 1974, 1976). He rushed for 5950 yards and scored 53 TDs. Before there was Adrian Peterson, there was Chuck Foreman.
To date we’ve only seen one player ring come to auction and no salesman samples popped up in our research. Stating that this is an extremely rare ring would be an understatement.
This lot has a Reserve Price that has not been met.
