This was the last card I needed to complete the second set for this year's TOPPS Base Set.
After buying one at COMC I got one in a trade offer. I excepted it.
In Trade #5979 I receive the elusive #1 Jim Thome I needed for my PHILLIES team set for that year.

I almost got all the cards in trade for the base set. I purchased some cards via COMC as no member on TCDB had them to trade. It started with member LoQtus sending me a starter lot to get me going with trade #3329 along with a trader from TradingBases on-line group.
