I don't have any to show but I know Jim Thorpe has other sports cards. Modern times there is:

D. Sanders
Bo Jackson

Just to name a few.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Ernie Nevers is on some Zeenuts

Ken Stong is on a La Presse piece from the late 1920's - It is color but not sure they are cataloged.

Here is a little known card of Paddy Driscoll (It doesn't get the attention the Nevers Zeenuts do).
