- The only insert that I have of Jim from the 2000 MVP set, I was surprised to see 13 different insert sets from that release. Of course that includes a couple of game used/signature inserts.
- Bio on the back: "Thome hit the second of his four Division Series home runs versus Boston on 10/7/99."
- Career home run #208 was hit 5/24/2000 off of Detroit's Allen McDill. Thome's homer brought the Indians to within 9-7, but the Tigers wound up winning the game 10-9.
- Also on 5/24/00, pitcher Shawn Estes of the Giants drove in 5 runs, including a grand slam, in a 18-0 whitewash of the Expos.

- MVP was always an underrated set in my opinion. Nothing flashy, the price point was right, but the cards looked good and they always had good info on the back.
- Guessing that this photo was taken during spring training because of the jersey; that jersey is something I've never seen worn during a regular season game.
- The usual replica signature cards in silver, gold (#'d to 100) and super scripts (#'d to 25) are available for this set, as in past years. I need them all for my Thome PC, realistically I'll probably end up with just the silver sig parallel.
