Then the value right now is at least $15K.

It always seems crazy to me what Thorpe's M101-5 card sells for compared to his 1912 postcards that can be had in the $1,000 range.

The 1912 postcard I think is going to increase in value

I'll settle for the T200 NY Nationals with Thorpe on it for ~$150-200+.

Sorry for not contributing squat to this thread.

Speaking about contributing squat, here is my George Connally Thorpe Sport Kings variation.

Brian (I will contribute just slightly more than squat by saying that I am not sure about the Thorpe M101-4 valuation)

It already has...significantly! I regret having sold mine a few years ago.

That's what I did to get a period picture of Thorpe. Granted, it's a bit small.

What's considered Thorpe's rookie card?

To the Original posters question. I believe the card is at value or above. A famous Barr psa 6 Thorpe which is more desirable, went for nearly the same amount 15-16k range.

He has several 1912 postcards. The most common one is the "Olympiska Spelen" portrait postcard from the Stockholm Olympics, but he also has several different 1912 postcards that either show him in action at the Olympics or celebrate his post Olympic return to Carlisle, Pa.

In answer to the original question, it is an incredibly scarce card of arguably the greatest athlete ever that only appears in the M101-5 set. It is also one of Thorpe’s few individual major league cards. I think it is tremendously undervalued in general.

I think his stuff in general is undervalued. The prices for his M101-5 cards are based a lot on condition, as most are. I think this one went a little strong for the condition but that's just me. Congrats to the winner.
He is in the W-Unc 1915 set too which is most likely a candy set. These aren't mine any longer. Too bad. LOL
