There's lots more cards out there for Thorpe, fellas, if you include postcards and exhibits. I'm actually writing an article for Gridiron Greats Magazine on his 'cards' as we speak. On the football side, there's cards from his days at Carlisle, his pre-NFL days with Canton, and his NFL days. Obviously he has Track and Baseball cards as well. There is at least one documented basketball card. Also numerous cards from his acting days in Hollywood too. A postcard (or two) from his first wedding, etc.
And these are just from his playing days. Of course there are just a bazillion tribute cards but I don't catalog that stuff. Only his pre-war items.

P.S. If you're looking for traditional baseball cards don't forget about the Thorpe Zeenuts card! It is a nice one.
