A SUPER Bowl ring from one of Tom Brady's defeats has sold for more than $280,000.
The ring is the second most expensive ever to have sold - and ended an attempt at history for Brady.
Brady and his New England Patriots were one victory from pulling off a perfect season in 2007.
They went 16-0 in the regular-season and breezed through the playoffs to a meeting with the New York Giants.
But they were defeated 17-14 in a shocker in Arizona despite being 12-point favorites before the game.
Plaxico Burress, 47, was a receiver on the Giants team during that Super Bowl.
And his ring fetched $280,600 this weekend, according to Heritage Auctions.
NBC Sports report that only Don McCafferty's ring from Super Bowl V when he was Baltimore Colts head coach sold for more.
It fetched $300,000 in 2022.
Burress caught just two of his nine targets in Super Bowl XLII for 27 yards.
But he scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Burress was a first round NFL Draft pick out of Michigan State in the year 2000.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected him eighth overall and he was there until 2004.
Burress played for the Giants from 2005 to 2008.
He also was briefly with the New York Jets in 2011 before returning to Pittsburgh for two seasons.
Brady, meanwhile, played in 10 Super Bowls during his career and won seven of them.
The New York Giants accounted for two of his defeats while the other was to the Philadelphia Eagles.
New York beat New England in Indianapolis, Indiana four years after ending their quest for a perfect season.
The Giants ran out 21-17 winners on that occasion with quarterback Eli Manning named MVP once again.
"We were crushed," Brady said about the loss in 2007.
"I was crushed. My teammates were crushed, coaches were crushed. That was our history-making game.
"That would have been everything and I remember getting to the bus in Arizona and there was not a sound.
"It was pitch dark, we were as devastated as you could be. There was no sleep for a long time."
