Boy, Rhett! I can't believe you paid thirty-seven bucks for a couple of no-name minor leaguers. Maybe you can get your money back.

I'm glad you won that lot. It is good that those items are now in the hands of someone who appreciates them. That's exactly the kind of stuff that could have been thrown away by someone... and now it is saved, preserved.

I thought they were two no name minor leaguers. That's why I bid $27.67.

What's strange is that the seller carefully identified four or five very obscure minor league players on another Creagan postcard lot that I won (and paid more than Rhett did) but did not recognize Jim Thorpe on this lot ???

If it helps, like I said before I had no inclination that that was Thorpe in the image from the auction (why would I from that little scan?). When I was looking at the individual lots they had for sale I picked out the lot you won and this one as the two best ones and put a moderate bid on the bigger PC lot (that you won and outbid me on) and put a much more significant bid on this one ONLY because of the baseball player RPPC as I was hoping it was Creagan himself.

I'm never this lucky so this is uncharted territory for me!

Also in the sellers defense if you look at Thorpe sig on back to the untrained eye it looks more like "James Hufe" or something along those lines

Simply Incredible, Rhett. Significant for sure. Dussault has a nice head of hair as well.
