Default Jim Thorpe Cards

I have been thinking about adding a Jim Thorpe card to my collection. I'd love to see some examples of Thorpe cards that others have collected.

Thanks!

Ethan

Bought this one raw back in the 1980s and subbed it to PSA in the 90s...

This 1933 Sport Kings card of Thorpe is always popular, but perhaps more so when 100% present. It was included in the Sport Kings set even though it was several years after his sporting career, an indication of how highly regarded he was at the time. The Thorpenstein shown, featuring a guest appearance from a 1933 Goudey George Connally, is as close as I get to a complete card.

Here is the Thorpe 1912 Olympic postcard from Sweden. I did not have to pay the crazy prices people are paying for it in the U.S. as I purchased it in Sweden. Some minor damage at the top but that does not matter as the idiot opinion sellers with never get their hands on it. It serves the purpose for which it was acquired; an original Olympic image of Thorpe for my American Olympian photography archives.

I was a teenager without a ton of money and never spent more than $100 on any card at the time, so I am guessing it was in the $50-75 range.

I’m just happy I was a fan of vintage in the 80s and didn’t just buy 88 Topps and Donruss then!
