I was fortunate enough to get the Thorpe pc in Gotenburg, Sweden at the World Olympic Collectors Fair in 2016. The dealer had a table full of postcards from the set including multiples of Thorpe. I paid about $350 for it. I got the pentathlon one for about $2 a few years ago when I was offered the opportunity to purchase items from a deceased Olympic collectors estate. You may not know this, but there are three other Americans on that card - silver medalist Jim Donahue, Austin Menaul and future IOC president Avery Brundage. It is #99 in the set.
