Clyde Wright Autographed 1971 Topps #240 California Angels Card

Featuring Clyde Wright with the California Angels, this Clyde Wright autographed 1971 Topps #240 California Angels card comes from the distinctive 1971 Topps set, immediately recognizable for its black borders. The card was issued following the finest season of Wright's Major League career.

Wright debuted with the California Angels in 1966 and developed into a dependable left-handed starter. His breakthrough came in 1970, when he emerged as one of the American League's top pitchers and established several career highs.

On July 3, 1970, Wright threw a no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics, allowing only three walks in a 4-0 Angels victory. He finished that season with a superb 22-12 record and 2.83 ERA, completing 14 of his 39 starts and throwing four shutouts across 260 innings.

Wright's outstanding 1970 campaign earned him his only American League All-Star selection and a sixth-place finish in AL Cy Young Award voting. He followed with another strong season in 1971, winning 16 games and working more than 250 innings for California.

Wright pitched 10 Major League seasons with the Angels, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers before extending his career in Japan. With its classic black-bordered design and direct connection to Wright's 22-win, no-hit season, the 1971 Topps #240 is an appealing addition for Angels collectors, Clyde Wright fans, no-hitter collections, vintage Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
