Very Unique Mike Ditka item

It is a really cool thing, I wonder what its value is, this is the second time I have gotten lucky at our local flea market, I also found a dealer selling personal items belonging to Former Cub Bill Madlock, I bought some and called the cubs to see if they would reach out to Madlock and a cople days later Madlock called me saying he wanted them back nd would buy them, I told him I would give them to him for free, I met him at a local signing, he was so grateful, he signed 3 balls and my wrigley seat...

That's pretty cool too Stasman.

I find it refreshing that even with so many scum in this hobby, there are a lot of good people too!

Thanks...Its a great hobby, but people have to remember that the athletes are just like you and me..how would you like your personal items out there. The Madlock one was in the paper, his wife divorced him and sold his items from a storage unit and the article said he did want them back and the Ditka items were also in the paper and it said he was aware of them being removed but did not want them back or any proceeds from the auction..I was torn if I should reach out to him about this becuase it does have alot of person info..adresses and phone numbers....I'm still on the fence over this one..
