- Love the triple photo on the front of the card showing Jim in varying parts of his swing. The photo of "the Jake" in the background only enhances the card.
- The five white circles on the card (3 on the left, 2 on the right). Baseballs or snowballs? This is Cleveland in October we're talking about, so either is possible...
- Jim played for 6 teams during his career, and 5 of them made the postseason while he was there. The only one that didn't? The Phillies between 2003-05.
- Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads that come by and read my posts.

- Amazing how the scan gives the foil writing at the bottom a bluish hue. It's actually silver, but you couldn't tell from this picture.
- The only copy of this card currently on COMC is selling for $2.75. I consider Jim an unlisted star in the price guide, so this card currently lists for $7.50 (IMO).
- July 6, 1996 was the date that Jim hit his 71st career home run, a solo shot off of the White Sox' Kevin Tapani. It gave the Tribe a 1-0 lead, but the Indians wound up losing 3-2. That same night, the Jays hit 6 HRs in a 15-0 drubbing of the Tigers.

- It appears that Jim finally had enough of fouling balls off of his shin, this is the first card I can remember that features a shin guard.
- Fleer '96 has a papery feel to it. For 2 years it appeared as if Fleer was trying to make cards as cheaply as they could. Almost as if they knew that they needed to stockpile cash for when they lost their license.
- Career homer #68 came 6/15/96 against Mark Hutton and the Yankees. It was a 2 run shot in the 9th inning of a 10-3 win.
