Nice hit! 07 is notorious for faded autos. It might have been the type of pen they used that year.

Nice pull,sorry about the ink.
I have about twenty of the 07 myself that are now worthless.
Some pretty nice $60-$80 cards ruined by UD's lack of
research on pen type. It seems Upper Deck would make good
on them but I never tried checking on it.
BUTTT anyway congrats.

I always thought it was the leather type they used for the cuts that year. Not really faded but the sig bled into the leather.

The material they used for the "baseball" in 2007 was horrible. The surface has a gloss to it that didn't absorb the ink very well.
