Cliff Forrest, Jr. of Pittsburgh, PA purchased William "The Refrigerator" Perry's Super Bowl XX ring. He bought the ring for $8,500, which he took from his college-savings fund. After the child bought the ring, he learned of Perry's fight with Guillain-Barre syndrome, which causes paralysis. Forrest, Jr. wanted to return it to Perry immediately after discovering this.
Cliff got a flight to Chicago to meet with Perry and handed him the ring he bought. For his kind actions, Cliff received two signed jerseys and five signed football cards.
"The Refrigerator" was a former Chicago Bears defensive lineman. He put the ring for auction in 2007, but no one knew why. When he was selling it, however, it was sold for $27,000. This could mean that the young boy bought a replica and was ripped off.
What are your opinions on this? Do you think the 10 year old bought a fake? Was spending his college savings a good idea?
