Since that set was printed in Sweden they are not as uncommon as one would believe if you are other there. I got mine in Sweden in 2016 from a dealer who had 2 others. The collectors on here call the T-206 set 'The Monster'. The postcard set that includes this Thorpe is a true monster set with over 800 cards. The cheapest you can find any of the cards is about $10.00. The official photographers also created RPPC's that are not part of the set that were sold to competitors. I have two mailed by a U.S. fencer to his mother and brother from the Olympic Games that show him with other fencers and they are not part of the set. I saw a complete set displayed at the Gothenburg Sports Museum. It was displayed in those frames that you could flip like a giant book. Very impressive to look at.
