- 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.

- The silver parallel scanned really nice. The silver came out a lot better than I thought it would.
- 52 Sakic & 48 Thome cards scanned and posted=100 posts down for my 2 main PCs. I haven't even hit the late 90's early 2000's portion of either collection yet. That's when we'll see a lot more parallels and inserts for both players.
- Jim's 48th career game came in 1992, a 5-2 win over the Twins. It was kind of an all or nothing game at the plate for Jim; a solo HR and 2 K's in 3 AB's.

- Wonder if Jim left the guy on the right hand side of his head hanging...
- I was always a fan of the SP brand back in the 90's, and the red field on the left hand side I think looks better than the gold. That's just me.
- The photo on the back of this card is probably better than the one on the front. It features Jim in mid air finishing a throw. It also details that Jim hit a 2 HR game on June 22nd in 1994, then performed the feat again a month later.
- If you're wondering what happened to yesterday's post, the calendar in my head got screwed up. The 2:00 post today was supposed to happen on Friday. First hiccup....
