Jim Thome card #295 2002 Donruss Originals #180

• This is the 2nd of 3 Donruss Originals from 2002 that feature Jim.  I really like the "swoosh" design (well that's what it reminds me of anyhow), and have a couple of others in PCs that are similar to this.
• Bio on the back:  Thome went deep in seven straight games from June 25 through July 3rd to come within one game of matching a major league record shared by three players.
• Market Watch:  One copy of this card on COMC right now, priced at $2.50.  I have no idea what packs went for back in 2002, but I'm guessing that this is kind of pricey.
• Career homer #295 was the 2nd of the game for Jim on 5/30/02 against the Tigers.  Jose Lima was the victim this time, a 3 run shot that put the game out of reach.  The Tribe won 11-7, making a winner of reliever David Riske, who struck out the side in the 6th.
