Things You Can Find in a Couch for $300, Alex

Super Bowl Ring Found

The typical detritus from a college student’s couch cushions–change, bottle caps, petrified french fries, Super Bowl rings…

    I would like to contact Mr. Phil Hong and invite him to share his story before youth at a Chicago-area day camp this summer. Where I can I reach Mr. Hong (i.e., email & phone number)?

    Thank you.

I'll never share your email address and it won't be published.
