Jim Thome card #50 1995 SP Platinum Power # PP-19

  • Jim was one of 4 Indians to appear in this 20 card insert set (Murray, Ramirez and Belle).  The only other teams that had more than one player were the Giants and Dodgers.
  • Jim's 50th career game featured his first career triple, part of a 2 for 3 performance in a 6-5 win over the Royals, 7/25/92.
  • A quick search on COMC.com showed that there are 13 of these for sale, anywhere from 54 cents to $1.24.  I looked in Beckett and figured Jim as a semistar in this set, which means the card is approximately 75 cents.  Not bad.
