Wait...PWCC tells people not to bid on cards he is trying to auction? I am sure the consigner would love to know that. That doesn't sound very ethical.

Obviously, the consignments that PWCC tells people not to bid on should be labeled as "PWCC low-end."

Didn't someone mentioned he tells them "just throw in a bid, you won't win it"

As an auctioneer if I have a regular customer who has specific needs/wants and he asks whether I think a particular auction lot will meet those needs I, of course, am going to be honest, even if the answer is "no that lot really won't make you happy." There's nothing unethical about the truth, and I don't feel that's in conflict to my fiduciary duty to my consignor.

I think a lot of people fail to realize that PWCC is just a platform, like Ebay is. These aren't Brent's cards. You do realize that? These are other people's cards. They can just as easily sell them on Ebay themselves just like Brent can. Instead they ship them to Brent because he gets higher prices than everyone else. Think of the novel "The Pied Piper".....sorta the same thing. PWCC gives great service, I get that. A lot of sellers give great service. The sellers/buyers who are cheats/cons get quickly weeded out on this board. I think every member under the sun on Net54 knows about battlefield and all their reincarnations.

Beautiful card and congrats! Enjoy!

Personally, I find the 52 Musial to be amongst the greatest cards ever created.

I would rank it second among Musial cards, to this one.

To each his own, but I too find the 53 Bowman to be Stan's most beautiful card.

This one has grown on me as well.

It's definitely between these two for me, but the '52 is my favorite. Both really nice.

Unfair to compare. 52B is color art reproductions of actual photographs; 53B are stunning poses and photography and is probably my favorite set of the Fifties (meaning today), and the 53B Musial pose seems so candid - who can resist?! However, I don't know if it's the reflection of the green paint of the dugout interior or the photographer forgot to bring his light meter, as the color of Stan's face, depending upon which print-run version you are looking at always somewhere between jaundice and Martian. Hence, 52B for me...at this moment.

Anyway, great looking 52B, OP, and congrats.

AQUARIUM --- BINGO!!!!

BOBBY W ---- I learned the hard way about Battlefield when I first got back into collecting. What a hassle pain in the butt that was.

Do i not remember more than 1 long thread where Brent was shown to be less than a straight shooter???

ALR - that is awesome that you got to see Stan the Man play!! He was way before my time but my interest gravitated to the Legends right away in 1981 as a kid when first collecting.

Neal - I agree there are some non-rookie cards that are just iconic and the 52' Bowman Musial is one of them with the image portrayed. Others to me are the 64' Topps Rose, 48' Leaf Babe Ruth, 38' Goudey Joe DiMaggio and for sure others.

Thanks all for the congrats on this string and through PM's. I replied to the PM's just now so hopefully they worked as I am sometimes clumsy on the computer.

Glad its Friday!! Tonight I think I will finally celebrate the card with a cold one. A classic vintage Musial deserves a classic vintage beer and for me I think its gonna be an Old Style!!
