Happy Birthday, Jim Thorpe

Certainly one of the greatest all-around athletes of the 20th century, Jim Thorpe was born on this day in 1887 (some say 1888).

These are part of my growing First Day Cover collection.
And a couple of cards.

    Most of the cards I've seen of Thorpe uses the image on those 1984 stamps. It's nice to see some cards with different images.

      There's another card I think I have, from the 1991 Impel Olympics set but in my mess of an office/card room I couldn't find it.
