Description:1912 Jim Thorpe "Greatest Athlete of All Times" postcard (FR) Rare original postcard promoting Thorpe's return to Carlisle, PA with a large image on front. There is a 1912 cancellation on back along with handwritten address (a small pencil mark near upper edge was likely added later by a collector). Toning/spotting and wear includes chipping/loss and a small tear. It is believe that these postcards were reprinted somewhat recently and this is one of only a handful we have found dating to the period: FR ($300-$500)
