1995 Select Certified Jim Thome Cleveland Indians #42. I’m not a professional grader and eBay now makes assigning a condition mandatory so I estimate as best I can but evaluate for yourself as the condition is as pictured shipped in penny sleeve and top loader. 1995 Select Certified was a 135-card, "super-premium" set released exclusively to Hobby outlets in November, 1995. Designed to compete with Topps' Finest brand, the cards were made with 24-point metallic stock and double laminated. This was the inaugural year of Pinnacle Brands' super-premium brand. Elected to Baseball Hall Of Fame 2018. Jim Thome is a Cleveland Indians legend and one of the best sluggers of all time. Throughout his career, Thome's strength was power hitting. In 12 different seasons, he hit at least 30 home runs, topping 40 home runs in six of those seasons. He hit a career-high 52 homers in 2002, and in 2003 he led the National League in home runs with 47. Due in part to his ability to draw walks, with 12 seasons of at least 90 bases on balls, he finished his career with a .402 on-base percentage. Thome's career on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .956 ranks 19th all-time. In 2011, he became only the eighth MLB player to hit 600 home runs. As of 2020, Thome is the career leader in walk-off home runs with 13
