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. Program from the Annual Football banquet of the Detroit Times, held at the Downtown Quarterback Club, on February 7, 1950, two pages, 8 x 10.5. Signed on the back cover, featuring a full page image of an older Thorpe punting a football, signed in blue ballpoint, “Jim Thorpe,” with a collector’s notation to the right border of image. In very good condition, with scattered light foxing and soiling to signed page, central vertical crease, ink and pencil notations to inside pages, and mild handling wear and soiling. A large and very presentable example. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
