http://www.stevenspointjournal.com/article/20120515/SPJ0101/305160027/Super-Bowl-XLV-ring-ends-up-pawn-shop?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGEOn Tuesday, Pawn America sent a tweet and picture of a 2010 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl ring in its possession, causing a stir among Packers fans who wanted to know the seller.
“This is probably our coolest piece at Pawn America Appleton!” the pawnshop wrote on Twitter, the micro-blogging social media site. “An authenticated 2010 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Ring!”
An attached photo shows the face of the diamond-encrusted ring in a ring box, but not the name on the side. It has the center G, four diamond footballs in the corners and reads “World Champions.”

“It’s not a player’s ring. It’s a staff ring and it fits a female hand,” said Dominic Volpe, one of the managers at the Pawn America pawnshop/retail store at 500 N. Westhill Boulevard in Grand Chute.
