Dave Robinson turned 81 on May 3. The former Green Bay Packers linebacker and Pro Football Hall of Famer doesn’t know how much time he has left, although the plan is to live until he’s 110.
“I think I have 29 years, but maybe not,” Robinson said.
It’s that "maybe not" part that recently got him thinking. He has several valuable football possessions from a decorated college and pro career, and perhaps it was time to let them go to help family members who could put the proceeds to use.
Robinson has decided to auction his Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II rings, along with approximately 30 other items, in Heritage Auctions’ Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction on Aug.
