I don't have any to show but I know Jim Thorpe has other sports cards. Modern times there is:

D. Sanders
Bo Jackson

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Ernie Nevers is on some Zeenuts

Ken Stong is on a La Presse piece from the late 1920's - It is color but not sure they are cataloged.

Cal Hubbard has a card in the 1955 Bowman Baseball set where he is an umpire.

Bud Grant and Warren Moon both have cards from their player days at the CFL...still football, but different
