Valentine entered professional baseball in 1948 in the Cincinnati farm system. After spending three years in the low minor leagues, and missing 1951 and 1952, he led the 1953 Sally League in earned run average (2.11) and helped the Columbia Reds win the league championship. The following year, he made the parent Redlegs' regular-season roster. Taking a turn in Cincinnati's starting rotation, he appeared in 36 games as a rookie, with 28 starts. His 12 victories put him in a three-way tie (with Joe Nuxhall and Art Fowler) for most on the Redleg staff, and he paced all Cincinnati pitchers with three shutouts; he also threw seven complete games, second-most on the club. However, plagued by arm miseries, Valentine was demoted to the Redlegs' Triple-A Havana Sugar Kings affiliate after May 29, 1955.The most expensive item with a signature of Corky Valentine (Signed 1955 Topps Doubleheader Al Kaline PSA/DNA 3/10 with Corky Valentine) was sold in August 2023 for $524.00 while the cheapest item (Corky Valentine Hand Signed Index Card( MLB Debut 1954)) found a new owner for $0.99 in January 2011.
