|  Jim Thorpe on a real photo postcard

			That is Jim Jeffries Thorpe.  He played for Portsmouth in 1910.  He sucked and so does this postcard. Leon, you had me all excited when I read the title to this thread and then I was very let down.

			Anyone with even halfway decent vision can see that is NOT Jim Thorpe. It is Shoeless Joe Jackson. Or Elvis. Or a martian.

			Well, the Cobblers played from 1906 to 1916 and had a number of major leaguers.  Looks like a lefty, so the seller can't even say that it was Billy Southworth from the 1912 team.  Cool card though http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...gi?id=e31e8901
