1916 Jim Thorpe sporting news SGC 1.5 Value

What's considered Thorpe's rookie card?

To the Original posters question. I believe the card is at value or above. A famous Barr psa 6 Thorpe which is more desirable, went for nearly the same amount 15-16k range.

He has several 1912 postcards. The most common one is the "Olympiska Spelen" portrait postcard from the Stockholm Olympics, but he also has several different 1912 postcards that either show him in action at the Olympics or celebrate his post Olympic return to Carlisle, Pa.

In answer to the original question, it is an incredibly scarce card of arguably the greatest athlete ever that only appears in the M101-5 set. It is also one of Thorpe’s few individual major league cards. I think it is tremendously undervalued in general.

I think his stuff in general is undervalued. The prices for his M101-5 cards are based a lot on condition, as most are. I think this one went a little strong for the condition but that's just me. Congrats to the winner.
He is in the W-Unc 1915 set too which is most likely a candy set. These aren't mine any longer. Too bad. LOL
