The West Indies toured England in 1950. They had a good batting line-up including the "three W's" (Clyde Walcott, Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell), but they were unusually short of bowlers. They took two young spinners, 20-year-old Alf Valentine and 21-year-old Sonny Ramadhin, who had only played two first-class matches each. Valentine in particular was a surprising choice as he had only taken two wickets in those matches at an average of 95, but somehow he had caught the eye of the West Indies captain, John Goddard.The most expensive item with a signature of Alf Valentine (ALF VALENTINE-WEST INDIES-TEST CRICKETER-SIGNED CARD/ALBUM PAGE-AFTAL/UACC RD316) was sold in May 2020 for £19.99 while the cheapest item (Signed Alf Valentine 1930-2004 Jamaica West Indies 1940s 1950s England Tour Rare) found a new owner for £0.99 in April 2013.
