Please Post Your N172 Larry Corcoran (if you're not John Dreker)

For the people wondering why this collection started, here is the quick version of the story:

I bought my first OJ's from Larry Fritsch around 1992-93. Joe Mulvey first because it was the cheapest, then a few months later I bought Corcoran because he was the best player he had for sale(very limited selection at the time).

When I got on ebay, the first OJ auction ending after I signed up was a Corcoran, different version than mine and very cheap. I won it.

Not knowing at the time how rare OJ's were, I was "misled" into thinking maybe ten Corcoran's existed. So when another showed up on ebay and it was a different variation, I won it.

Then I decided to get all six variations. When I got to five, I couldn't find the other one, so I bought a double to use as a trade bait. That card was low grade though, so when a nicer double showed up it seemed like better trade bait but I still couldn't find the sixth variation.

I then had a chance to buy a graded EX double, real nice, so I got it. By the time I finally got the sixth variation I had four doubles, all different, so I went for a second set and started the same thing as last time, buying doubles to trade...then eventually went for a third set, etc.

By the time I got to 17 or so, I just decided to buy them all, I was almost doing it anyway. I only passed up a couple...one being the one Fred has.

So that is how it got to where it is. If I knew there may be 60-70 of them out there, I probably would have never bought the second one
