Cecilio Guante Autographed 1984 Topps Nestle #122 Pittsburgh Pirates Card

Featuring Cecilio Guante with the Pittsburgh Pirates, this Cecilio Guante autographed 1984 Topps Nestle #122 Pittsburgh Pirates card is a promotional counterpart to his standard 1984 Topps issue. The Topps Nestle set closely follows the design and checklist of the regular 1984 Topps release while carrying distinctive Nestle branding, giving collectors an interesting alternative from the era.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Guante made his Major League debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1982. The hard-throwing right-hander quickly established himself as a valuable member of the Pittsburgh bullpen and developed a reputation as an effective strikeout reliever.

Guante enjoyed a strong season in 1983, appearing in 49 games and recording a 2.61 ERA with eight saves. He followed with 52 appearances in 1984 and remained an important part of the Pirates relief corps through the 1986 season.

Following his time in Pittsburgh, Guante pitched for the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians. One of his busiest seasons came with the Yankees in 1987, when he made 63 relief appearances and struck out 87 batters in 91 innings.

Guante appeared in 363 games during his nine-season Major League career, with all but 13 of those appearances coming out of the bullpen. The 1984 Topps Nestle #122 is an appealing addition for Pirates collectors, Cecilio Guante fans, Topps Nestle collectors, 1980s promotional-set collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
