Nelson joined the Chicago White Sox during the 1984 season after beginning his Major League career with the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners. He appeared in 27 games for Chicago that year, including 15 starts, as the White Sox utilized him in both starting and relief roles.

During the 1985 season, Nelson appeared in 49 games with 13 starts and worked 129 innings. His versatility allowed Chicago to use him throughout the pitching staff and foreshadowed the transition to relief work that would eventually produce the most successful seasons of his career.

Nelson remained with the White Sox through 1986 before joining the Oakland Athletics in 1987. He became an important member of Oakland teams that captured three consecutive American League pennants from 1988 through 1990. Nelson enjoyed his finest season in 1989, going 9-6 with an outstanding 1.57 ERA in 65 appearances as the Athletics swept the San Francisco Giants to win the World Series.

Nelson ultimately pitched 13 Major League seasons and appeared in more than 600 games with the Yankees, Mariners, White Sox and Athletics. Combining his Chicago tenure with the desirable Tiffany treatment, the 1985 Topps Traded Tiffany #86T is an appealing addition for White Sox collectors, Gene Nelson fans, Tiffany set collectors, 1989 World Series collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
