Jim Thome card #199 1999 Topps Finest #268

• This shall forever remain in its protective coating.  One bad experience has killed my curiosity for life.
• Bio on the back:  "Thome calls himself a very simple, very average guy."  Probably one of the big reasons that I collect him.  Nothing flashy, just a steady career with 600+ home runs as part of a few very potent hitting teams.
• Checked out prices on COMC, relatively cheap for the base version of this card, ranging anywhere from 55 cents to $1.50.  Refractor, well the only copy of this refractor will set you back almost $6.
• Looking forward to spring cleaning on COMC, hoping to add some good cards to my Thome and Sakic collections on the cheap.
