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. Bold vintage ballpoint signature, "Jim Thorpe,” on an off-white 3.5 x 2.5 slip. In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”
