Definitely some toughies... Thorpe looks funny, an interesting to see spoke among the chisox players. Probably worth well over 4k if teal

I actually bid on that piece and lost. I think it's a museam quality piece of baseball history. Iv never seen a Jim Thorpe where he printed his name like this but most Thorpe autos I'v seen were signed much later. If he signed this one in 1913 he would have been about 25. He was on the trip with his new wife (a Honeymoon). Wonder what it's worth if all signatures are authentic. Also has some other rare autographs like Bucky Weaver.

It was from the World Tour of 1913-1914. Giants and White Sox went around the world together to show the world baseball. They even played in front of King George in England. Tris Speaker also went with them.

I bid on this as well. I think that it is an extremely cool item. My interest was that it also had several challenging early no-hit pitcher autographs that I would love to own.

Oh well, someone ended up scoring a terrific collectible that could certainly be considered to be a centerpiece type item.

Did anyone on net54 win this? Just curious...

Cool info. Why was Crawford on the Chicago sheet?

The teams were just called Chicago and New York. Players throughout the league played for both at one time or another during the tour. I bid on the item too. I was a little skeptical about some of the signatures though. But figured if one was real they were all likely real.
