That's a beautiful pickup, Casey! Love it. What does the front look like?

Great magazine, Casey. That's a new one to me. Always enjoy seeing Thorpe items I've never seen before and nice to have Oklahoma memoribilia staying close to home.

Boomer!

This is one of my favorite Thorpe images. Not sure what year it is but look how young he looks! Gotta be 1907 or 08 when he had just started playing for Carlisle.

Thorpe was on the roster in '07 and played in '08 (I think).

also posted these in the "ode to prewar..." thread

Great postcards! Have you zoomed in to see if you can find Thorpe on the field?

Hi...I’ve been a member for awhile but never posted anything. The Thorpe thread has been calling to me for awhile and love the pieces that have been shown so far. I have an immense Jim Thorpe collection of over 1000 pieces that has never been seen (other than many of the pieces themselves) but never been shared as a collection. My earliest piece is 1904 when he enrolled in Carlisle. If somebody will teach me how to load photos I’d be willing to start sharing photos of my collection....if anybody is interested in seeing what I have. I see some fellow Oklahoma collectors who enjoy having Thorpe pieces! Hopefully, I’ve posted this correctly and not messed up the flow of the thread. Thanks! Mike

Mike, Do you have any Thorpe items related to him playing pro football? I'm especially interested in his pre-NFL seasons with the Canton Bulldogs particularly 1915-17, 1919. Thanks.
