The ring would have belonged to a Gamecock player or coach from the 2011 College World Series-winning team.

Sports memorabilia is big business. In 1998, Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball went for $3 million.

If you had a piece of sports history, would you sell it? Or hold on to it?

Also, what items of sports history would you most like to own?
