Most have already seen this piece as I posted it on the card side when I picked it up. It is perhaps the only image of Thorpe that can be 100% dated to the tme he was playing baseball in 1909-10 in the East Carolina League (I've never seen any images of him in his ballplaying garb and wonder if any exist). He is seen pictured with his 1910 Rocky Mount, NC teammate A. J. Dussault and it comes directly from the estate of another of their 1910 Rocky Mount teammates David Creagan.
By the way, $6600 for the Thorpe Zeenut seems kinda cheap, even given the trimming on the top that resulted in the Auth grade.
