Marv was one of the early Mets' true folk heroes, symbolizing much of the early spirit of the team: Good cheer through humbling experiences. And let it not be forgotten that the initials of his name actually spelled out "MET." He's shown here on this 1994 Upper Deck All-Time Heroes card missing yet another wild throw to first base. Beneath the stats box there is another card shown, one that has been autographed by Marvelous Marv. Two other cards are pictured too, featuring a Throneberry specialty—an error!

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
