Default Jim Thorpe on a real photo postcard

I actually laughed out loud when I saw this "Jim Thorpe" postcard.

The guy on the PC looks like Thorpe almost as much as Burt Lancaster did....

That is Jim Jeffries Thorpe. He played for Portsmouth in 1910. He sucked and so does this postcard.

Leon, you had me all excited when I read the title to this thread and then I was very let down.

Anyone with even halfway decent vision can see that is NOT Jim Thorpe.



It is Shoeless Joe Jackson.



Or Elvis.



Or a martian.

Well, the Cobblers played from 1906 to 1916 and had a number of major leaguers. Looks like a lefty, so the seller can't even say that it was Billy Southworth from the 1912 team. Cool card though
