The only GEM MINT PSA 10 from the extremely condition conscious 1971 O-PEE-CHEE issue. In 1973 a terrible on field injury basically ended what had been a very promising career for the young Valentine. He played a few more years in a utility role but was never the phenom he was in the minors. He managed the Texas Rangers for 8 years and the New York Mets for 7. He has also has 2 stints managing in Japan for a total of 10 years. He is currently the new manager of the Boston Red Sox for 2012.
