The set is very rare with an incomplete checklist and last time I did any research only 10-12 subjects have been check listed.

Neat card, Brent. DO you remember when you gave me some toothpaste at the National, about 17? yrs ago? BTW, Capital Candy, also made this 1913 set...

Haven't seen that issue before Leon. Really cool. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I remember now that you mentioned it. lol

Hello all — wanted to post this for the Thorpe collectors out there. I picked this two-sided signed photo up. I’m having a custom card made from the signature on the back and am having the front made into a cut — both going to PSA upon return.

I know this one doesn’t match most of Jim’s exemplars. I had a local Thorpe collector say it was good (noting the "Good" was a specific match), was hoping to hear back from another on this thread. Please let me know what you think -- thank you!

This from a 1952 cut on PSA’s site convinced my amateur eye it looked good — seems he rarely added this:

I've been putting in some work to build up my Thorpe collection. Found some great deals over the past month!

I currently have the custom card and the cut signature in the post above at PSA for authentication.

Awesome! Is that a voted-on all-American team or one that actually played? And is that Portland a photo or postcard?

Just got notification that the front cut signature here was authenticated by PSA. If anyone is interested, I plan to post it on the board once it arrives in the mail.
