Tom,

Thorpe's best years were definitely ahead of him in 1910, as he really started making headlines as a football player in 1911. That being said, Thorpe may have NOT WANTED his playing pro baseball to be known as he was still in college competing as a college athlete in 1910 which is why I suspect he doesn't show up in either of the card sets T209-2 or T210-7 (He may have refused to okay that b/c he didn't want to jeopardize his amateur status if it became known)--all speculation by me but I think it has merit.

RPPC's became very popular in 1906-1920's as souveniers. You could sit for a photo and they would print it directly on a postcard and you could use that to send to relatives or friends. It is highly unlikely (although possible) that this postcard was mass produced for profit.
