2007 Topps Tim Salmon

PLAYER BIO:  Tim Salmon played for the Angels from 1992-2006. He was the 1993 AL Rookie of the Year and a member 2002 World Championship club. One of the most popular Angels ever.

YEARS PLAYED: 1992-2006

TOPPS SETS APPEARED IN: 1993-2005

TOPPS SETS MISSING FROM: 2006 and 2007

WHY I MADE THIS CARD:  Tim was one of the best players for the Angels during his career. There was a time in 1993 when he was probably just as hot as Mike Piazza in the hobby. He was nice enough to sign his 1994 Stadium Club Golden Rainbow card and 1996 Bowman's Best Refractor for me through the mail in 2005, and I've always been a fan of him since he came up in '92, even though I don't really go out of the way to get any of his cards. I can see why Topps left him off of the '06 and '07 sets since he was injured a lot at the end of his career and he missed the entire 2005 season, but he did play in 76 games in '06 and certainly deserved a sunset card, so I decided to make one of one of the most popular players for the Angels. Thanks for checking out the latest card.
