A piece of NFL history can now be all yours thanks to Hakeem Nicks … TMZ Sports has learned the former NY Giants star has decided to part ways with his Super Bowl ring — putting it up for auction this month.
Bidding on the bling — which Nicks helped Eli Manning and the Giants win in an epic game against Tom Brady and the Patriots back in 2012 — is currently at $25,000, but officials at Heritage Auctions tell us it could ultimately get up to over $80,000.
The ring is massive, it’s a size fifteen piece that’s so loaded with diamonds and blue sapphires, it weighs in at a whopping 95 grams.
It also has plenty of history attached to it — because Nicks was a huge reason why NY was able to upset Brady in the SBXLVI game.
The former first-round pick totaled 10 catches for 109 yards in the contest — and had some huge grabs for Manning in the team’s fourth quarter, game-winning drive.
It’s unclear why Nicks is selling the piece — but according to Heritage Auctions, the ring comes with a letter of provenance from the former wideout and we’re told a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.
Bidding ends later this week … good luck!
