Colgan Jackson and Thorpe

Price guides are finally getting Jackson removed from the e254 set, but what about Thorpe? Does this card really exist? I've never seen so much as a scan or even heard of anyone that owns one. I would assume that if anyone had one it would be Fritsch.

I know that I, along with many other people, would love to see the Thorpe Colgan if it really exists.

Last year there was a fistfight between fans and players at a professional basketball game. Not to be outdone, the National Hockey League has announced that not only will several fans be beaten every period, but one lucky fan each game will be run over by the Zamboni.

Jay, I believe Frisch does own the card. If I remember right he produced a set of cards promoting his BB Card museum that was in Cooperstown, commemorating some rare cards, and I think the Thorpe TinTop was among the people in the set. At least I think I remember seeing it.
Take care,

Yes Fritsch has one and he claims it to be the only one known.I have that commerative set that Rhett mentions somewhere and if i ever find it ill post scans of the card.Its pretty easy to imagine what it looks like,Thorpes face,round colgan chip,black and white photo,maybe someone can photoshop one so i dont have to look thru thousands of cards from the late 80s-early 90s to find it
