- Standard swing from the heels pose on another Thome card. Looks like the shin guard is a little higher up the leg now, towards the knee.
- Bio on the back: The back goes over his milestone home runs. 1st was versus the Yankees 10/4/91, 100th vs. the Rangers 5/14/97, and the 30th of 98 was hit against the Twins.
- 3 copies on COMC right now, 1 at $1.24 (always love the prices that end in 4 or 9) and 2 copies at $2.50. Have a feeling that the higher priced copies may sit there for a bit.

- Another card that I had to turn the brightness settings up in order to get some of the design shown on the scan. Foil proves to be a scanner's enemy more often than not.
- Bio on the back: "In '98, he put in his third straight 30-homer season, finishing tied for eighth on the club's career list, and raised his career slugging percentage to .540, third best in club history." At least somebody found something different for Jim's accomplishments to write about.
- Career homer #197 was Jim's first of the 2000 season, hit 4/5/00 off of Baltimore's Sidney Ponson. It was a solo shot that extended the Indians lead in the game to 6-4. Baltimore ended up turning the game around and scoring 4 in the eighth inning for an 11-7 win.
