Description: 1922 Zeenut Pacific Coast League Jim Thorpe SGC 80 EX-MT (1/1). The offered card, along with the Joe DiMaggio Zeenut rookie issue, ranks as the most significant of any Zeenut card produced over the many years the company manufactured sets representing the Pacific Coast League. Jim Thorpe, arguably the greatest all-around athlete in the history of organized sports, appears in only a handful of baseball card issues, with his lone Zeenut issue in 1922 ranking amongst the rarest and most coveted. The color tinted card pictures Thorpe in a throwing pose in his Portland uniform. Card front shows a clear, perfectly printed image set against a clean, bright and blemish free white background. The slightest hint of corner wear is visible upon close inspection of each square corner. The blank white back of the card is equally clean and bright. This newly discovered card is being offered here for the first time publicly and was only recently graded 80 EX-MT by SGC. It stands alone as the highest graded example of a 1922 Zeenut Jim Thorpe by any major grading company: SGC 80 EX-MTEstimated Price Range: ($30,000-$40,000)
