Thanks. I remember you picking up an identical postcard a few months back. Like I said, I was expecting to get sniped out of the running. Even a low-grade Thorpe 101-5 card would be out of my price range. I know postcards aren't everyone's thing, but it is amazing to me that Thorpe postcards predating the M101-5 sell for 10-30 percent of the M101-5 card.
The one I am kicking myself over is that there was a raw, postally used (postmarked from Carlisle, Pa., no less) "Olympic Heroes" Thorpe postcard on eBay that sold for $234 a couple weeks ago. I missed it until I saw it in the sold listings. The "Olympic Heroes" postcard touts Thorpe's return to Carlisle following the Olympics and pictures him putting the shot. I thought maybe someone on here scooped it up to flip because it went so cheap. But nothing ever turned up when I asked on the B/S/T board.
