Fantastic vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Thorpe in an elaborate Native American headdress, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Norman D. Money from Jim Thorpe 1940." In fine condition, with a bit of mild silvering to darker areas, and a small tear to lower right edge. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "8" and accompanied by a full letter of authenticity and grading from PSA/DNA. Autographed 8 x 10 portraits of Thorpe are extremely rare, with this standing as an exceptional example.
