An individual on a trade site on FaceBook is offering an Aggie ring for sale, Class of '88. I asked her about it and she said she bought if in an estate sale and it has the intials LGB inscribed inside. She is asking $1500 for it and says the stone is a one carat diamond. If anyone is interested, it is on the Sheppard AFB Buy, Sale or Trade page and her name is Sylvia Maldonado. It sounds like it is in a Pawn Shop. That's all I know, just thought someone might be interested.

Ah. Thanks.

Any chance you can get a pic of the inside and read the name?

Chuck appraised mine with smaller diamond for $2k.

so what happened?

AFS Always in Graves they full name. That diamond color is terrible. This smells really bad

Like and such as?

I intended to be home early this week and was going to ask her if I could see it. However, an unexpected death in the family has me stuck in DFW until tomorrow night and now the post has been removed. I messaged her and haven't received a response. If I hear from her, I will post it here.

Still working on contacting them. Only one got back to me, and I have ruled them out. I will reach out again.

I've never seen an aggie ring without a complete and full name inscribed inside. It doesn't wear out.

Well, mine has First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name.

And buzzard above said his has First Initial, Middle Name, Last Name.

mine has my legal name at the time, First initial, middle name and last name. Can't remember if we had the option of just initials.

Will the AFS assist in tracking down any possible owners in such a case?

With what information? At this point in the story, there isn't any name to search for.

I reached out to her to inquire about the status of the ring and heard crickets. I asked what was inscribed and the initials was all she said was there. Did she remove the name? Did the family remove the name before placing it in an estate sale? I guess we will never know if I don't hear anything from her.

This might be a dead horse, but keep in mind that the class year is not set in stone. The person could easily be a later class year. It all depends on what source you are looking into - they could all have different class years for the same person. I know that somehow I didn't leave that place until a year or two after my ring said I was supposed to be gone.

No, your class year is the same regardless of when you graduate. Unless you're a frog, and then pick whatever class you feel so inclined, because well, you're a frog.

Not exactly sure what you mean here. I was originally class of 78. Attended a couple of years, took some time off, and came back and graduated in 83. I had the choice of having 78 or 83 on my ring. The school considers me class of 83.

So I'm a frog?
