1960 Topps #436 - Marv Throneberry
...was marvelous Marv Throneberry! For this reason (and also because he was the spokesperson for Miller Lite Beer in the 1970s!), I snagged this 1960 Topps buyback when the opportunity presented itself a while back.
Marv may not have had a HOF caliber career, or even be considered a minor star, but I think the personal connection of being born on the same day that I was is kind of cool. Cool enough to make the franken-set binder?
Cheers to you, Marv Throneberry!

You do realize how dangerous it is for your mail carrier's back to reveal your birthday to me, right?
Marv's been gone for a number of years, but I hope you, Franchy Cordero, Rommie Lewis and Yamid Haad had a good birthday!
Belated happy birthday to Marvelous Marv! (And you, of course!)
Happy belated birthday!
