Additional Description: This series of life-size “cold-cast bronze” busts was commissioned by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum around 1996. Although sculpture artist Palmer Murphy was commissioned to produce up to 550 total HOF special edition pieces (per player), the actual number of busts produced through the Hall of Fame was extremely low. Antiques Road Show has wrongly misstated the correct number for years. This bust represents the final Stan Musial bust ever made from the original molds and tooling. There is only one other collector known to have the complete set of all five HOF busts, including: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson. Extremely rare and highly desirable set !! Photos provided by Bobby O’Neill. From the Bobby O’Neill collection. NOTE: Pick up suggested! Excessive shipping charges due to size/weight/fragility.
