I even have a theory Jim Thorpe is seen in the background of a card. Have to get home to verify the player on the card. Good stuff!

I'd love to see the card with Jim Thorpe's image on it.
As you probably know, Thorpe played for Rocky Mount and Fayetteville during the Summers of 1910-11.
Supposedly, those two brief experiences in professional Baseball cost Jim his medals and trophies, which
he won in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. He was forced to return them.
Gee, it would have been really neat if they had included a card of Thorpe in this set.
Good Luck putting together the color set.
