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. Magnificent vintage fountain pen signature, “Jim Thorpe,” on a light beige 6 x 4.5 album page. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from James Spence. In fine condition, with binder and punch holes to left edge, easily matted out. As fine an example as you will find.
