Featuring Gene Nelson with the Oakland Athletics, this Gene Nelson autographed 1991 Score #478 Oakland Athletics card captures the veteran right-handed reliever following Oaklands remarkable run of three consecutive American League pennants. The colorful 1991 Score design provides a distinctive early-1990s issue from the final stage of Nelsons Major League career.

Nelson joined the Athletics in 1987 after previous stops with the Yankees, Mariners and White Sox. He developed into an important part of Oaklands bullpen as the club emerged as an American League powerhouse, winning 104 games and reaching the World Series in 1988.

His finest individual season came in 1989, when Nelson went 9-6 with an outstanding 1.57 ERA in 65 appearances. He allowed only 55 hits over 92 innings while helping Oakland capture its second consecutive American League pennant and sweep the San Francisco Giants in the World Series.

Oakland won 103 games and another American League pennant in 1990, giving Nelson three consecutive trips to the World Series from 1988 through 1990. He appeared in 44 games during the 1990 season as the Athletics completed one of the most successful three-year stretches in franchise history.

Nelson remained with Oakland through 1991, his final Major League season, completing a 13-year career in which he appeared in more than 600 games as both a starter and reliever. The 1991 Score #478 is an appealing addition for Athletics collectors, Gene Nelson fans, 1991 Score set collectors, 1989 World Series collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
