In other words, paying $1,000 for one on eBay may not be necessary?
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Would some kind soul be willing to attempt to procure an extra giveaway for some poor soul who is 1,000 miles away?

I'm considering going, and if I do, I will attempt to procure one for you.  I ordered a replica ring from online.  It was $35, including the box.  It's supposed to ship first of May.  We'll see how it looks, but others from this company don't look half bad.

Thank you kind sir. I'd love to see how the one you ordered turns out. The photos on the site are the Astros actual rings so if they look anything like that then here's my $35.

Actually, This is what you need.

Cheapest ticket on StubHub....$90 for SRO. 
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

If someone want to get one for me, I will be eternally grateful.

HH, text me where you got yours. You have impeccable taste, and I know i’ll be happy with the same one. In the meantime, i’ll cancel my order for the $11,000+ beauty.

I currently have 2 extra tickets (sec 408 row 19 seats 1 and 2) that I paid $50 each for on secondary market.  Please message me if you are interested. I happened to get these just after the replica rings giveaway was announced and before the prices jumped even higher.  I will be in Sec 208 at the game. Who else will be there?

My wife and I will be in section 155.  The game falls on my birthday, so the tickets (and the replica rings) are my present this year.
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

I will be but no idea where.  I'll probably be handing out the rings, so maybe i'll see you all.

If anyone ends up with an extra for some miraculous reason, I'd be eternally grateful and will get them the Astros Championship hat of their choice (not signed) for their generosity and kindness.

If anyone is interested in a replica ring on the cheap, I got one from foxrings.com.  It is particularly large and heavy, and it doesn't look awful for $29.  I think it looks better than some replicas out there.  It's not going to fool anyone, but it's just a conversation piece to sit on the shelf, so I'm pretty happy with it.
