CHICAGO (CBS) – Some sports fans may have lost a chance to get their hands on an iconic piece of Chicago sports history.

We told you about the legendary blue and orange sweater vest worn by Mike Ditka at Superbowl 20 going up for auction.

“Da Coach” donned the sweater as the Bears crushed the Patriots back in 1986 and was famously carried off the field by his players at the super dome.

It was pulling in bids for more than $30,000 within hours of going up.

But Heritage Auctions shows this lot is no longer available. Bids are no longer being taken and any previous offers are canceled.

No word this morning as to why the sweater was pulled — we’ve put in calls to heritage for answers.

The bidding was set to end Saturday.
