Let's see some postcards

You bet! Been getting these and other Thorpe memorabilia for close to 20 years now...just now starting to share with others what I have...I’ve posted a lot already on the Jim Thorpe thread. I collect other early Native runners also just a bit and see that you collect Nebraska Native items...I’ve actually keeping an eye out for Nebraska items. Will PM you if I run across anything.

I have some nice Lewis Tewanima and Amisoli Patasoni photos in my Olympic photo archives. Also some of the native Hawaiians.

Sure would like to see those Olympic items..I’ve posted some of my Olympic items on the Jim Thorpe thread along with other Thorpe items. I’ve got a few Tewanima items but they are are to come by...always looking for more.

Great Thorpe PC's everybody! Nice seeing some of the more unusual material.

Thanks! I’ve got the 23 Thorpe postcards that I’ve listed but I know of at least around 10 more that I do not have. Of course...I’ll be pursuing the ones I don’t have...just hard to come across them!

I will try to post some of my Native American photos over in the Jim Thorpe thread over the weekend. I will limit it to pre-WWII which will mean Frank Mount Pleasant, Lewis Tewanima, Amasoli Patasoni, Wilson 'Buster' Charles and Clarence 'Taffy' Abel.
