QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) Why are they not opening it up to out of state fans? That seems pretty closed minded on their part. Legal issues prohibit the White Sox from selling raffle tickets to out of staters. |

I think if this ring sold now, while Sox fans are still on the world series high it would get more money than those rings. I am sure if you would try selling this ring in 20 years you would be lucky to get 10,000-20,000 This post has been edited by rudylaw: Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:43 AM |

For those of who say you wouldn't sell it, I'll quote Ted DiBiasi, 'The Million Dollar Man': Every man has his price.
It might be an insane amount of cash, but you'd all sell it, it's just a matter of finding your price. |

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) Legal issues prohibit the White Sox from selling raffle tickets to out of staters. Is that just for the online raffle tickets? If you go to the ballpark, then you can buy a raffle ticket, correct? |

I would say that it is a residency/state tax issue.

A lady in my office who works payroll for the White Sox as well received a World Series ring along with the entire staff, she also got to go to Houston with the team for the World Series.
Anyways she said that she was offered 40k for the ring the day she received it. |

Sell it now. If you can get $50k for it, great. Put $10k of it in the bank, and I'll bet you can get one in 10 years from one of the players for the $10k plus whatever interest there is. I think you get one from a guy like Raul Casanova or Jaime Burke whenever they decide they'd rather have the cash.
Sorry to be so dark side on this one, but it's only money. Can you believe that Casanova gets the same ring as Konerko? How are the staff rings different than the players/management? Those staff rings will be available relatively (maybe a year or so) soon, I would bet. |
