Mike Ditka Autograph Story

So, I'm sitting in my home office today and my sister-in-law calls and says "Hey did you know Mike Ditka is signing autographs at Jewel (grocery store)". So I hop in the car, go to Jewel, buy a couple of 8x10s and get two 8x10 autos. He was also promoting his Ditka pork chops so he signed a box of pork chops and also grabbed the bottle of sauce and signed it, too. Spent a total of $27 and got 4 Ditka autos, 2 pork chops and sauce...not a bad deal. Just thought I would share a good auto experience.

    He was at the Plainfield Jewel..only until 3:45. Not sure if he was going other places or not.

    yea, I got there at 3:50 and they shut line on me. He did sign two footballs on the way out. I really needed my 1989 Pro set card signed. bummer. The info I had said he was suppose to be there 3-5pm.
    I collect Seattle Pilots autographs, 1969 Topps autographs, Signed Mickey Mantle Home Run History cards and have a JC Martin collection (he was my college Baseball coach)
