As you might guess by my user name, I'm a bit interested in Thorpe . I don't know much about many of these issues because most are pretty tough and I haven't been researching them for long. To the best of my knowledge, this is a complete list of Thorpe's vintage baseball cards:

1901-17 Police Gazette Supplements

1909-17 Max Stein

1913 Giants Evening Sun

1913 Colgan's Tin Tops. I've read he was only available in the Tin Tops series, and I've also read there are three known. I've never seen one.

1913 T200 Fatima New York Nationals. Probably his most common card. I bought a nice PSA 1 for $200, and probably overpaid. Card also features Matthewson and McGraw.

1913 T200 Fatima premiums. Oversized version of the small Fatima card, available as a mail-in redemption. I didn't save the auction, but my memory tells me one sold at auction for about $3500 within the last 2 years.

1916 M101-5. He was only in M101-5, not M101-4. Not the rarest card, but in high demand. Considered his baseball RC.

1922 Zeenuts. A nice one sold in Mastro recently for over $10,000.

He also has a handful of pre-war Football cards.
