That's an amazing collection!

Thanks, Dan. The Murray came from someone who saw my collection and wanted to add it. Always nice when folks want to do that, and a labor of love for me.

Love this thread... Keep them coming!
Here are the 1908 Southern Association Champions - Nashville Vols with Confection Stamp (Guth Chocolates) on PC and featuring 9 or 10 players that made it to the show. T205 & T206 is represented well here -

Very cool Thorpe postcard, Derek. I am a Thorpe fan myself (I live 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa.) and have only seen copies of that postcard a handful of times. There was an unused copy of that postcard on eBay with an asking price of $2,500 or best offer for several months that just recently sold. I know in the past when I have looked up that postcard, there were only 2-3 of them graded on the combined PSA/SGC population chart.

That whole grouping with it was nice. I was watching it. I have quite a few of the pc's from that set showing Americans, but I focus on original photos of U.S. Olympians so I passed.

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum so a little introduction is in order.

My name's Shane and have collected cards and stuff since I was very young. But alas when I became a teenager all my stuff was either lost or stolen. Well now I'm 34 and married now so I thought it was about time to start over again cause not much else gives me as much joy as collecting and talking to collectors. Anyways here is a postcard I just picked up,

Here's a Thorpe from the same series that belongs to my father. Can't seem to find another online anywhere:

That's awesome!!! I have about 10 other PCs from the 1912 Olympics set, but hadn't seen this one before. Not that I've been looking, but I do check these out when they come up for sale online and I happen to catch it.

Very cool! Thanks for the close-up!

I am a Thorpe fan as well, and I have seen that image of Thorpe before. It's taken from the start of the 1,500 meters during the pentathlon. The link shows the same image and talks about the details of the 1,500 meter race from which the image was taken.

I thought I had seen that image on a postcard previously. SGC shows one of card "99" from the 1912 Olympics as being graded. Is that yours? Anyway, the link provides some interesting information about the image.
