Nelson joined the Oakland Athletics in 1987 after earlier Major League stops with the Yankees, Mariners and White Sox. His move to Oakland coincided with his transition into a more prominent relief role, and he became an important member of a pitching staff that helped the Athletics dominate the American League during the late 1980s.

His finest 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.

Nelson was part of three consecutive American League championship teams from 1988 through 1990 and remained with Oakland through the 1991 season. His career concluded after 13 Major League seasons and more than 600 appearances, having successfully transitioned from a starting pitcher into an effective and durable reliever.

Issued in 1992 following Nelsons final Major League season, the Mother's Cookies Oakland Athletics #22 provides a distinctive regional issue documenting his successful Oakland tenure. It is an appealing addition for Athletics collectors, Gene Nelson fans, Mother's Cookies collectors, regional-issue collections, 1989 World Series collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
