I have the Fatima but wouldn't take it over Thorp's Sport Kings or 1955 Topps AA because they are individual cards and depict him in his football uniform. There are also older postcards from his playing days at Carlisle that I would definitely prioritize over his Fatima card. Plus they are much much rarer.
