What is the value of a 1995 Atlanta Braves world series ring?

That depends on the player it belonged to, whether the ring is in good shape or not, and proof of authenticity of the ring. You would have to get it appraised by a professional and possibly put it on an auction house for sports items. You might want to try www.scpauctions.com they handle such merchandise. I did see a World Series ring from a member of the 1981 World Champion Dodgers up for auction on this site. You might want to try them. This a very serious auction house for private family sports items to be auctioned off. This is not for amateur's. These items are the real deal and can be very expensive
