This 3.5 x 5.5” postcard dates from 1913 and features a photograph of that year’s team  which toured Japan, showcasing American Baseball.  The photograph includes Jim Thorpe (fourth from the right, top row), the incredible Native American athlete who excelled in Baseball, Football and Basketball.  The image is slightly off center but otherwise the condition is EX with no wrinkles or tears of any kind.  The image is slightly faded but it does not mar the quality in the least, making this postcard an outstanding piece of baseball history.
