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.

Thanks for the link! That one listed through SGC is not ours as the one my dad has is not graded.

No problem. Like I said, I thought I had seen a graded postcard of that image before, but I can't find the postcard anymore online. That's what made me take a look at SGC's population.

Another Native American baseball team to add to my collection. Found this one locally. St Francis Indian School (Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota)

Let's throw some hockey into the mix! Here's a 1932 Sudbury RPPC with a very young Hector "Toe" Blake.
