Versatile Native American athlete (1887–1953), widely regarded as the finest all-around athlete of the twentieth century, who won two Olympic gold medals and excelled in football, baseball, and basketball. His Olympic medals were stripped from him for an ostensible violation of the amateur status rule (Thorpe had earlier played minor-league baseball) but were posthumously restored to him in 1983. For his sheer dominance on the gridiron, the diamond, the hardwood, and even as an Olympian, Jim Thorpe is revered as arguably the finest all-around athlete of the 20th Century. That versatile and Hall of Fame legend of the sports world signed and dated this 4.5 x 2.25 card. The superstar signed “Jim Thorpe 1952” in blue ballpoint, and the autograph’s well-kept medium presents fine condition (with just a bit of scattered and very trivial soiling). Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
