    WOW!

    From the pics, it looks like Earl Cureton is selling his (or could be a replica).

    Man, I wish I had the $$$$ for this.... :( :eek:

    Product: 10K GOLD SALESMAN SAMPLE CHAMPIONSHIP RING

    THE TOP OF THIS RING FEATURES THE "ROCKETS" LOGO ON A GOLD PLATE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED AND BLACK COLORED ENAMEL. SURROUNDING THE LOGO IS AN OVAL OF LARGE SIZED CZ STONES. AT THE TO IS THE WORD "WORLD" AND AROUND THE BOTTOM EDGE THE WORD "CHAMPIONS". IN A VERTICAL FORMAT IS THE DATE "19" ON ONE SIDE AND "94" ON THE OTHER SIDE SEPARATING THE WORDING.

    Probably a sample that was created to give Les and whoever else an idea of what the final product would be.

    Glad it's just a salesman's sample, it would be a shame if the Twirl had fallen on such hard times that he needed to sell his championship ring.

    Why would you put Earl Cureton's name & number on the sample?

    I have heard that Les is a mighty cheap man when it comes to his employees....

    CZ on a championship ring would be pretty low though... maybe on worrells' ring
