I'll take that bet and win. I'd pick Propagandas Montiel over Bond for Musial, but I'd also take Bond over Bowman. That of course is the less attractive Bond set, not the Jackie only Bond set, but even so, I'd rather have an earlier and rarer card than a '48 Bowman. (I have owned all 3 but no longer have any of them.) And as I've said before, Propagandas Montiel "cards" aren't cards at all, so the Bond has a good claim to being Stan Musial's rookie card if you don't count postcards either.
