Here's an old postcard that just closed on eBay. The Jim Thorpe lookalike is obvious to me, but is it really him? Certainly the buyer thought so at nearly $200 ...

Bottom second from the left, looks like him, but someone with more of a sense of his history will have to give a better estimate as to the liklihood of it actually being him.

Jim Thorpe was 6'1" I dont think he would be sitting on ground, usually that was for the little 5'8" middle infielders.

I think there were alot of Indians that had Thorpes facial features in the era.

Some photographers prefer the tall guys to sit.
