2017 Astros World Series Ring to Be Sold at Auction; Could Go for $20-60K

A 2017 Houston Astros World Series ring is officially on the auction block.

Gold Auctions told TMZ Sports that a ring belonging to scout David Brito has been placed on the market and is expected to fetch between $20,000 and $60,000. The ring, which is not the same as the one given to players or management, is valued at $10,000.

Of course, the ring will be polarizing on the auction market given its association with the Astros' sign-stealing scandal. Some may see the item as one of curiosity and be more likely to bid up the item, while there are some collectors who will undoubtedly see it as tainted and not want it as part of their collection.

Brito's ring is the first 2017 World Series ring to go on the market, so its performance may be an indicator of how other Astros memorabilia will perform moving forward.
