Yes Scott, Thorpe is in the Tin Tops. And according to Mr. Haber and Mr. Lipset, the Tin Tops are 1913 cards. So it fits that he's in the Olympics in 1912... he plays his first ML game on April 14, 1913, and makes it into those 1913 Tin Tops.

Realistically, the Colgans cards do a GREAT job of depicting ballplayers from 1909 through 1913. A better span than the white border tobacco cards, or Cracker Jacks, or even the E90-1s. They're an under-appreciated issue.
