Early Jim Thorpe Photo (Carlisle, Pa)
 
Posted By: <b>Josh</b><p>With all of this Jim Thorpe talk I ran across this today at a garage sale and picked it up for 25 cents. To me the guy in the back row in the middle looks like a younger Thorpe. He was tall for his time at 6'1 and he's the tallest there. What you guys think?<br /><br />Josh<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142033236.JPG">

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p> I don't see him either. but it is a great early piece of football memorabilia. Nice find for two bits. I collect postcards and if you'd like to find a home for it, e-mail me. joe<br><br>A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>I don't see anyone that looks like Thorpe. Thorpe did play for the Canton Bulldogs after his Carlisle days, so him among all caucasian teammates could be right, but I dont see him in the photo. <br /><br />With that said, I collect old football memoribilia and would be interested if you sell it.

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>If you can't identify him just call him Joe Jackson or Jim Thorpe <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>. But really I don't think that looks much like him at all but for 25 cents no matter who is on it you can't go wrong.
