A card equally coveted by baseball and football collectors alike, the T200 Fatima card of the New York Giants features baseball Hall of Famers Rube Marquard, Christy Mathewson and John McGraw as well as football Hall of Famer Jim Thorpe.  Thorpe's six-year baseball career (mostly with the Giants) produced a .252 lifetime batting average.  Graded GOOD 2 by PSA, this is an extremely sharp example for the grade, with strong corners and a clean image.  The photographic paper on which these cards were printed were extremely fragile and subject to wear, notably creasing and cracking of the emulsion, which is the case here - the bulk of the wrinkling exists at the top border, as well as a few pronounced edge chips.  Still, an extremely strong example.
