U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers recently seized counterfeit 1936 Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Championship rings.
They found the shipment, containing 10 counterfeit rings, at the Champlain port of entry in New York, according to a news release.
Officers determined the rings had a total Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) value of approximately $15,000.
The Detroit Red Wings won their first Stanley Cup in 1936, so the rings likely hold sentimental value for fans. And that's not all — the 1935-36 season was a big one for Detroit. An unfamiliar feeling for current Detroiters, it was a city of champions.
