“ I really liked that Topps design. Wish they still had licenses for my sports so I could have collected them. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice looking card, but why does Topps have to make 300 sets a year now? ” -Doc Floyd

“ I still don't understand Opening Day. Use a different design. ” -Splinter_9

“ As far as the look I like it. Now onto the Opening Day part of the equation. That is what is going to get this a negative review. It started with Traded and Update sets that I liked because many people move through the year. Then came gold cards, and silver cards, Opening Day cards, and now for the same player you can have dozens of basically the same card of a player. It was ridiculous 10 years ago and it is getting worse every year. ” -davidhandberry

“ Trying to make a comeback with the Royals. ” -carthage44

“ Alright, a Cub! Well at least an ex-Cub. Always thought he'd end up a better player. As for the card, it seems like an excuse for Topps to have another set to sell. Same photos as the base set. I suppose at least it's a way for the youngsters to get involved in card collecting since these packs are at least affordable. ” -Lerxst2112

“ 2015 Topps Opening Day Baseball. I grew tired of the 2015 design sometime in early 2016. OK sure the border background colors match with team colors but the weird smoky design of it I wish they hadn't have done. Back typical modern Topps. I don't follow the Cubbies so I don't know how Soler has worked out for them. ” -captkirk42

“ 2015 was the last bordered set for Topps and they really did an excellent job. ” -ketchupman36

“ I liked 2015 Topps, but I am not big on the Opening Day sets so much. ” -muskie027

Nice looking card though I agree with the superfluous number of various sets each year.

Nice day to be featured on Card of the Day.  He began a Home Run Party for the Royals as they hit 4 in the first inning.  I wasn't as upset when we got him from the Cubs and gave up Wade Davis even though I was also a huge Wader fan, but I'm glad he's finally showing that deal wasn't as lopsided as it appeared last year when Soler was stuck in Omaha for the year.  He's having a good year so far, so I'm happy.
