This is my third version of the team ring, I have been wearing it lately, it is a real clean design.

Hope this photo shows up.

Hi, guys!

I'll join the party. This is the ring I won on eBay several months ago. It's 14K gold, and it's starting to get scratched up a bit; however, that's only because I wear it every day. I almost never leave the house without it!

Great rings, guys! Thanks for sharing.

Cool Sammy
I like it kind of looks like the one that Larry Manetti used to sell in the 1990's I have two of them made of 14k gold, I will post more photos at a later time.

Nice rings guys. Ok, who else has one? Time for show and tell, break out the photos! :)

Yes I don't plan on taking mine off so it will no doubt get a bit scratched in daily activities. But I expect that. My Team Ring stays on all the time, as does my gold necklace I bought at the International Market Place on my honeymoon. Another item that reminds me of Hawaii. :wink:

Cool rings, all of them.
I'd like to own one but they are all way too pricey for me.
The one that I like more remains the "Lighter Side" version.

I heard the Lighter Side guy is going to retire soon so if you want one I wouldnt delay. I'm still debating with myself, although I really like the look of the ring and MPI is one of my all time favorite shows I am just not a ring/jewelry guy, other than my watch I just dont wear any. That being said i like the look of the money clip that RocknRobbie has on his site and the key chain looks nice

Here is the ring that I purchased from Larry Manetti in Hollywood, when he handed it to me he told me that it is the ring that he used the first 3 seasons of the show.

That is so friggin' awesome Robbie! What are the white specks on the cross? At first I thought they were diamonds...but it looks more like chips. Is it gold plated with steel coming through?

No they are really diamonds there is 18 Diamonds in the cross, Tom has one like this as well acording to Larry.

Me and my Friend went to Hollywood to Musso Franks to meet with Larry and his Wife and me and my friend came home with two different Larry Manetti owned Magnum PI Team Rings.

Maybe you can see this one better, if you look at the ring featured in the 1990's ad from the tabloids when Larry was selling the team ring you can see it was my ring that he used in the add, that was before the diamonds was added to it.

Wow! Must have cost you a pretty penny - but what a collectable!

Yes it cost me enough I had to get a loan to pay for it, it was a last minute decision, my friend wanted His other ring and I had mentioned that I would love to have the Diamond ring, my friend mentioned it to Larry and we made the deal.

It was on Friday we was going to meet him Saturday so I had to get a loan so I could purchase The ring the next day, The first time that I met Larry he was wearing my Diamond Team Ring, I loved it sense then I have photos of him wearing it that day.

I am so glad I purchased it, I will never sell it I have been a Larry Manetti fan sense his Baa Baa Black Sheep day's, I am so glad to be able to call him my friend.

I don't wear anything but my watch too and these rings cost a lot of money.
BTW, somebody knows the price of the Lighter Side one?
