I understand there is also a Colgans (E270) but it's either unique or not known.....I was reading where Lew Lipset said someone had sent him a scan or something and confirmed it. This is sketchy info on my part though..... |

As you might guess by my user name, I'm a bit interested in Thorpe . I don't know much about many of these issues because most are pretty tough and I haven't been researching them for long. To the best of my knowledge, this is a complete list of Thorpe's vintage baseball cards: |

I know it's off topic, but I'd be interested to know if Thorpe was in any football sets during his active playing career? |

I don't know if I would call the m101-5 Thorpe common, or easy to find. I was lucky enough to purchase mine about 4 years ago. In the 6 years I've been back in the hobby, I know of only 2 others that have been offered for sale in that time. I've seen just as many of his Zeenut card offered in that same time frame. I'm not sure if other collectors are like me and just will not part with card, no matter how much moeny is offered. |

Jim Thorpe's E270 certainly exists. I know of three, one of which I have a picture of. Though it is obviously an extremely scarce card, I wouldn't say three is the definitive known number of how many still exist. There will be a children's baseball/Jim Thorpe book released in 2007 that will have a picture of the mysterious E270 Thorpe card. |

The M101-5 is definitely not common, but isn't as tough as say the Colgan or the T200 premium. I regret not picking up one that was offered to me last year. |

I admit I am enough of a whore that I'd sell any card I own if the offer was right. |

As stated before Thorpe has no active card issues when he was a professional football player. I devote half of my time/$ to collecting HOF football items of players while they were active. I picked up a sportspage on eBay from the Buffalo Express (1922) which described Thorpe's heroics as a member of Oorang Indians in defeating the local Buffalo All-Americans. A neat piece and for $15 a steal. The picture below is from that page. Thorpe and fellow HOFer Joe Guyon are pictured in their Canton Bulldogs uniforms. |

well, if someone were to offer me $1 million, I'd prolly take it because I would ppretty much be assured of winning the next one that comes to aution and still have a nice chunk od change for other things. I don't think anyone is going to pony up that kind of coin for my card, so I'm not to worried about any offer that might actually make me think twice about selling the card. |

I've been told that Thorpe is in this postcard. (This is NOT the one that recently sold on ebay and represented as a "Thorpe"). |

I know the swastika had a few millenia of history before the nazis grabbed it, but it still has a stong emotional effect despite that knowledge. |

The "swastika" on the Oorand tent is NOT a swastika.If you look at it carefully the top bar starts at the west and goes easterly before turning south where it again goes easterly to the end. A swaskika of the nazi era has the top bar starting in the east, moving westerly, turning suth and then again to the west where it ends. |

Yes, in addition to the Sport Kings he was in the 1939 Gridiron Greats Blotters set. Technically ink blotters and not cards . An extremely nice complete set sold in Mastro a few years ago for something ridiculous... I want to say over $10,000. He also has a 1937 Kellogg's Pep Stamp, which is another one that's kind of a stretch to call a card. Unlike Grange, he's only on one sheet. |

It would surprise me if Thorpe was on that postcard, since he was not a Cherokee. But you never know, he might have signed on to a predominantly Cherokee team, or the photographer or postcard issuer could have been ignorant of tribes. |
