A rough original photo of Thorpe. It's not as nice as some of the other Thorpe pieces I've seen in this thread (and I would prefer a shot from his Carlisle days), but I'm glad to have it.
This was my sole pick-up from the June RMY auction. I stayed up until about 1 AM on sniper watch. When I woke up the next morning at 7:45, I went to check on what I thought would be the final results. In actuality the auction didn't even end until 8 AM. This is madness people, we need a truce on this late night/early morning bidding!
btw, The painted photo-art on the 1950 Bowman cards is awesome. They look great in high grade.
