You have a source for that? Because no story I've read has suggested that to be the case. Nobody can find an example of a World Series ring being MADE for the prices he says he paid for them. Nobody knows when he bought them, whether it's in 1997 as the report says, or 2003 as he said.
But if Giuliani bought these in 2003, it's obvious he didn't pay the right price for them as the jewels and gold in them would make them worth more than what he paid.
So where did you find a report that says he paid full price? OTher than of course his own statement. Obviously HE says he bought them at full price.
Even this story admits that the Yankees' front office has said that they sold the rings to Giuliani at the price they paid the manufacturer.

Not even close.
