Notes from the jacket:
"Who was the greatest all-around athlete in University of Illinois' history?  There have been some great ones - Red Grange, George Halas, Johnny Kerr, Lou Boudreau, Dick Butkus, Jonelle Polk, Tonja Buford, Renee Heiken, Nick Anderson and Kendall Gill aer just a handful of great athletes to have donned the orange and blue. However, none of those athletes accomplished more than Thomas Dwight "Dike" Eddleman did in his athletic career.  Dike earned 11 varsity letters at the University of Illinois in football, basketball, track and field.  These accomplishments and more are detailed in this book."

About Autographs PLEASE READ:
Many of the autographed items that we're offering were obtained in person.  Others were received in response to a through the mail request or were purchased from UACC dealers in the mid-late 1970s or early '80s when we were actively collecting.   Any details that we're able to recall or provide about the item's source or history will be included in the description.
We will never intentionally list anything that is a copy, a secretarial signature or a forgery, but if you notice something that doesn't look right, please let us know.  We do not provide a "certificate of authenticity" because we are not professional autograph dealers and in many cases, unless a COA comes from a well established individual, dealer or a TPA with an impeccable reputation, they're of little value because anyone can create them and the purchaser is often required to prove to the seller's satisfaction that the item is not genuine. If for any reason you are not satisfied, unhappy or uncomfortable with your purchase, please contact us and if you choose to do so, you may return it in the same condition and we will promptly refund the purchase price.
