HOF Dick Butkus: Dick Butkus was one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history. The Bears made Butkus the third overall choice in the 1965 NFL Draft, during which they also selected fellow Hall of Famer Gale Sayers with the fourth overall pick. Butkus was an instant star, leading all rookies in interceptions (five). In his nine-year career with the Chicago Bears, Butkus was a five-time All-Pro selection and an eight-time Pro Bowl honoree. Known as one of the fiercest tacklers in the NFL, Butkus epitomized professional football in his rugged era with relentless effort. Butkus was name to Hall of Fame All-Decade Teams for the 1960s and 1970s. Butkus was also a member of the NFL's 100 All-Time Team, and his jersey No. 51 was retired by the Bears. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979. His legacy also carries on through the Butkus Award, which was founded in 1985. It is awarded every year to the best linebacker at the professional, college, and high school levels. Following his playing career, Butkus remained in the spotlight mostly as an actor and announcer including, TV shows such as "Hang Time", "MacGyver," "My Two Dads," "Half Nelson", "Blue Thunder" and more, and was the Bears' radio announcer for many years and on CBS' pregame show "The NFL Today".

Some of the auction items that I purchased over the years, I really needed, and many other winning auction items (like 100 pairs of chopsticks - REALLY) after some embarrassment and family criticism, have made for a good story. It is my sincere goal to never embarrass any buyer, and to attempt to make every buyer who purchases one of my listed auction items more than satisfied. All of the auction items (whether pre-owned or brand new) come from a clean, pet-free, smoke-free, and mold-free home. I will always try and address any criticism or complaint in a prompt and thorough manner.
