They can often provide some of the most memorable moments of the whole season and it’s always fun to watch when you’re lying on the couch after a big day of turkey (or tofurkey, no judgement here). In all of NFL history, there’s been four years when no games on Thanksgiving have been played. Want to guess which ones? The four war years of 1941 until 1945.

But not many other people can get their hands on them. Occasionally they come up for public auction and we can get a sense of their market value. For example, two 1970s Steelers rings were sold on eBay in mid-2008. The winning bid? $69,000 each.
