Our second Olympic postcard image for Jim Thorpe shows him starting the 1500 meter race, at second from left. Thorpe would take gold in the pentathlon and decathlon, famously becoming "the greatest athlete in the world." These Olympiska Spelens postcards show some of the earliest possible and most significant competitive shots of Thorpe. The PSA VG-EX 4 shows slight corner wear on the right side and the MK qualifier is for faint pencil marks that were erased, with minimal impact on its central image. Amazing and vibrant look into one of the peaks from Thorpe's many sporting achievements and the population report shows just nine total encapsulated examples.
