Two Super Bowl rings from the Steelers' first two championships in 1975 and 1976 sold at auction on eBay today for a combined $66,000.
The rings, which belonged to a Steelers front-office employee whose estate is being liquidated through a bankruptcy sale, were sold separately, but the winning bids were submitted by the same person.
The ring for Super Bowl IX against the Minnesota Vikings -- the Steelers' first Super Bowl -- sold for $32,751 after receiving 77 bids.
The ring for Super Bowl X against the Dallas Cowboys sold for $34,100 after 55 bids.
Both rings were listed on eBay for one week, but most of the bidding action took place in the last five minutes, when three determined bidders tried to one-up each other before the deadlines.
Fred Fall, of Fall Liquidators in Oakmont, said all of the money, minus costs, will go to pay the debts of the former Steelers employee.
