Considered by many to be the greatest athlete of his day, Jim Thorpe is one of many legends that are honored in the 1955 Topps All-America set. A precise image of Thorpe in his red and gold Carlisle Indian Industrial School uniform is accentuated by a deep blue backdrop, all of which has retained its pack-fresh boldness without the usual color fade that is common to the series. Accurate centering and high-end NM/MT corners help seal the deal.
