You know you're the greatest athlete in the world when the King of Sweden says so and nobody every had more unequivocal claim to the pronouncement than Jim Thorpe. King Gustav's astute observation runs across the top of this 8-by-10-inch advertising premium from 1944 that pictures Thorpe in the main image and in full Native-American headdress and regalia in a secondary image with neither representation seeming precisely fitting for legendary track football and baseball standout. Thorpe signed and dated the piece adding an inscription to "My good friend"; the autograph is a strong 8/10 in black fountain pen and the advertising premium presents EX-Mt and is problem free. The piece is handsomely matted and framed to an overall 14-by-17 inches.
