Danny Jackson Autographed 1985 Fleer #205 Kansas City Royals Card

Featuring a young left-hander who would play an important role in Kansas Citys first World Series championship, this Danny Jackson autographed 1985 Fleer #205 Kansas City Royals card comes from early in Jacksons Major League career. The 1985 Fleer release is remembered for its clean white borders, colorful team accents and straightforward player photography.

Jackson established himself in the Royals rotation during 1985, making 32 starts and pitching more than 200 innings as Kansas City captured the American League West title. The 23-year-old left-hander finished the regular season 14-12 and gave the Royals another durable starter alongside Bret Saberhagen and Charlie Leibrandt.

He became particularly important during the 1985 postseason. Jackson pitched a complete-game victory over Toronto in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, helping the Royals extend a series they ultimately won in seven games. He then delivered an even bigger performance in Game 5 of the World Series, throwing a complete-game five-hitter as Kansas City defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 to keep its championship hopes alive. The Royals eventually overcame a three-games-to-one deficit to capture their first World Series title.

Jackson later enjoyed his finest individual season with Cincinnati in 1988, going 23-8 with a 2.73 ERA, throwing 15 complete games and earning his first National League All-Star selection while finishing second in Cy Young Award voting. He became a World Series champion for a second time with the 1990 Cincinnati Reds, making him a member of championship clubs in both leagues.

Over a 15-year Major League career, Jackson won 112 games, earned two All-Star selections and pitched for the Royals, Reds, Cubs, Pirates, Phillies and Cardinals. He also helped the Phillies capture the 1993 National League pennant. Combining an early-career Jackson appearance with his connection to Kansas Citys historic championship season, the 1985 Fleer #205 is an appealing addition for Royals collectors, Danny Jackson fans, 1985 World Series collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
