- I could probably count on one hand the number of cards I've shown on this blog that feature more than one player. Not a bad pair of first basemen to go with Thome here...
- Interesting that McGwire (.299/70/147) and Galarraga (.305/44/121) weren't part of this card. Yes, Olerud hit .354 and Martinez had 123 RBI's, but both didn't have the all around #'s that McGwire and Galarraga did.
- Lists for relatively cheap on COMC at 65 cents (cheapest). Chrome version? 74 cents. Chrome refractor version? $10.25. Steep

- Certainly nothing noteworthy about this design. Topps didn't even put the team's logo on the card. The gold border would be used in later years for their numbered parallels, bringing a little more meaning to the color.
- This pose is also becoming standard practice for a Jim Thome card; front foot on it's heel, back foot on the toes, mighty follow through.
- 1999 Topps was also the smallest set for the company since the 50's, only 462 cards. Will never figure out why they did that.
- 6 copies of this card are currently on COMC, ranging from 99 cents to $1.25. A little pricey for an unlisted card for that year as Beckett shows unlisted cards at 50 cents.
