“History of Joakim Soria” #5. This is Joakim Soria’s rookie year for baseball cards. He had an actual card this year, it is the first time I have re-made an existing Soria card in my “Historty of Jokim Soria” series. I like this card a lot but I don’t know if it is better than his actual Topps rookie card.

As I have mentioned a couple times on this site, 1971 Topps is my favorite card set. 2007 Topps is a tribute to this set in many ways. It is the second time that Topps has ever done a black border being the main similarity. Another similarity is that the players signature appears on the front of the card.

I had decided not to do these signatures but changed my mind before ever posting a year that had the feature. I know that a few years have had signatures and I will add a signature when appropriate now that I have re-created it. This is a good looking card, the powder blue jersey really looks good with the black border. The signature gets lost a little in the photo because of the dark spots but it still ties the card together a little and I am glad I decided to add it.
