[Zarquon]

Not sure who's or if it is a replica but for what it is worth.

It looks like the real one, all right.

Interesting that the picture containing the other side of the ring has the user covered by their finger to conceal the name of the recipient.

Well you can always start with the location of the Ring as a clue. Who on the Lions came from Illinois (Edwardsville)?

Just a quick guess, but my money's on Joe Smith. He certainly came off in the press as unlikely to be caught up in the trappings of professional sports.

Could always just ask the seller, too.

[Robbie]

Assuming that the seller holding the ring is also the owner, then it appears that it is a white man.

[Tighthead]

The seller looks like a jewellery vendor, so likely not a player.

The seller also declined to name the player.

Someone should find that years roster and paste it so I can do some detective work and find out who it is. I also can find your lost or stolen pet.

Ace PS just a quick question did Ray Finkle play here is 2006?

By my count less than half of these guys are still with the team, even if you count 62 & 91 who left and have since returned. Hmmm, Carl Kidd seems to be missing from this list, so bump that ratio even lower.

My search has turned up something interesting tho there is another CFL http://churchfootballleague.blogspot.co ... chool.html

This is too hard I thought I was doing well but then I saw a game day roster and from that list were missing 84 Aaron Lockett 87 Chris Wilson 20 Mark Nohra 89 TJ Acree 99 Chris Wilson 3 Ryan Thelwell. I dont know whos all intittled to a ring but over the course of 1 season I bet theres 70-80 guys that are on a team. I give up.

I think that was the Chico Football League

Yes, it looks like the seller is only a jewelry vendor, as indicated in his answer to a question that a prospective customer asked.

This is typical when selling a personalized Championship ring. I can tell you it is from a player that actually played in the 2006 BC Lions.

So the selling price in the end was US $5,500.00 (C $5,935.60). The owner certainly didn't make a profit as the ring was appraised at C $10,000.00.

How do you know the owner paid the appraised value? He is most likely a broker on commission.
