Former Chicago Bulls security guard John Capps' six championship rings with the Michael Jordan-led team are currently being put up on an online auction block from October 9 to October 22, according to USA Today's Chris Bumbaca. He appeared in the  Jordan's documentary about the 1997-98 season, his final campaign with the Bulls entitled “The Last Dance.”

Initially a former Chicago police officer, Capps first started as a police escort for a parade to commemorate the franchise's founding back in 1966. He remained loyal to the team until the year 2018 when he passed away at age 88.

In the documentary, Bulls forward Scottie Pippen revealed how Capps and Jordan would wager on the animated scoreboard races during games together. The former Chicago policeman passed away in 2018 after serving more than 50 years to the Bulls organization.

According to Capps' estate, they have decided to auction off the rings since those already had “little sentimental value to the heirs”, a representative for the family told USA TODAY Sports. The profits from the rings' sales, facilitated by Huggins & Scott Auctions, would then be dispersed among Capps' 11 heirs, according to an amended order declaring heirship reviewed by USA TODAY Sports.

Many basketball fans seem to want a piece of history as bidding for the elusive rings has already exceeded the starting price set at $5,000 for each piece which are being sold separately. The ring from the 1993 NBA Finals which the Bulls won agains the Phoenix Suns holds the highest bid listed at $7,300. The 1998 championship ring from the Bulls' final championship run against the Utah Jazz followed at a posting of $7,100.
