I've watched the vast majority of his starts, until the last few yrs with the Astros, but there have been numerous times he has gone deep in games before giving up a late hit. Just about every time he took the ball for 12.5 yrs it felt like there was a chance for something special and it was an amazing ride watching him in the Old English D.

A lifetime ERA around 3.3 and even lower in the postseason. All of this during the juiced ball and steroid era.

As the Tigers announcers would always say, "JV is must see TV"

I have to assume an Old Judge of a player from London, Ontario is exceptionally scarce. Just how tough are they?

Two players in the set, Corcoran and Pettee, who seems to be harder to find. I have nine Corcorans and one Pettee. I'd say that could be half that exist

I'm sure you've discussed this before, but what is your interest in Corcoran? Is he somebody from your hometown?

Raymond- It's interesting that you SO 21 consecutive times and that I was a 21 K pitcher in PONY league. It was a 2 hitter.

I have, but I'll be happy to give the quick version again. I was able to pick out an OJ card as a birthday present when I was young and bought Corcoran from Larry Fritsch because it was the best common player he had available. When Ebay first started, I went on and the first card ending was a Corcoran, different pose than mine and cheap, so I bought it. At the time, I thought maybe 20 of his cards existed, so having two seemed hard to get.

I decided to try to get all of his variations. In the process of doing that, I had trouble finding the last two, but I saw doubles that I bought as trade bait in case anyone had them. While waiting, I upgraded two of them and by the time I completed all six variations, I was just one away from getting two runs of all six. So I did the same thing and it finally just turned into me buying whichever ones I saw because that's what I was basically doing.

The initial intention was far different than the final outcome. I'm at the point now where I won't go all in for one if it shows up because the prices were getting out of hand, though I've only seen three in the last 2+ years. The only exception would be the one variation I only have three copies of, because who doesn't want four runs of the same player

Got it. I assume there are other people who at least have a few, and that you don't have them all.

Does he go into the HOF wearing a Tiger or Astro’s cap on his plaque?

I actually thought about that recently as well. I would think as a Tiger, but the ring with the Astros and possibly more in the future could possibly make for a difficult decision.

Default JV

The really crazy thing before the no-hitter, ( and before his 5 1/3 inning ejection) he pitched a complete game against the Tigers, throwing 99 pitches losing 2 to 1. He gave up 2 Home runs and no walks. No errors. He was basically 2 bad pitches away from having 4 no nos and a maybe a perfect game.
