Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman received most of the Beatles-type attention as the NBA’s Chicago Bulls breezed to the franchise’s second set of three-peats in 1996, 97 and 98. But it was guards like Randy Brown who played the role of Ringo perfectly assisting the big three.
Now it’s Brown who needs an assist.
As part of a bankruptcy filing, a judge has ordered the auction of Brown’s three championship rings he won with the Bulls. Being offered online through West Auctions on May 19, the starting bid is $19,000 for all three.
Daniel West, a partner in the Woodland Calif.-based auction house, took the rings to a California jewelry appraiser who told him the value of the set was more than $40,000. The 12.5-sized ring from the 1998 championship alone was valued at more than $20,000.
"From a collector's standpoint, [the final bid] could easily triple that -- I hope," said West.
Bidding will be anonymous, but because this is a public sale conducted on behalf of the bankruptcy court, the name of the final bidder will be part of public record.
