Wow, I was talking about this very postcard with another Thorpe collector in the Love of the Game auction thread on here. I also put in a snipe for the postcard, but I was way out of my league. Just an awesome piece. I wonder if the seller (a postcard business) really knew what he had, scarcity wise.
Perhaps the winner was the guy in the link. This is one of the most amazing individual player collections I have ever seen, although much of it is modern stuff. Even more amazing is the post in which he says there are a couple of other Thorpe collectors with deeper pockets that even he can't complete with.
