The Price of a trophy.

There are many people in the world who's career is devoted to sports. Most if not all of them wish to one day carry the ultimate prize over there heads. But how much is the trophy really worth, cost wise. We can take for example the Stanley Cup of the NHL. Many hockey players all over the world have a different value on the Cup. But what is the real value of the Stanley Cup? Well we can look at its history. First off the Stanley Cup was bought as a decorative cup from London silversmith G.R Collis. It was purchased as a decorative bowl for $48.67 USD by Lord Frederick Stanley. He later decided that he wanted the cup to be more. He decided to award it as a prize for the top amateur hockey club in Canada. It was later given to the NHL to be awarded to the top team in the league. Since then it has been passed through the hands of many different hockey players and has the engravings of many names of the best players in the sport. Today the Cup has had many additions to it, to accommodate all the names that has been added. The cup has not recently been appraised, but is considered a priceless object. It is quite believable thought, that if the cup were to be sold it would sell for millions of dollars.
