<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 25165083, member: 77639&quot;]I don’t think there is any way Dave Bowers can be a partner in Stack’s Bowers.&nbsp; SB is owned by Spectrum Group International, a publicly traded company (symbol SPGZ).&nbsp; It’s possible Dave owns stock in SPGZ.&nbsp; However, Dave came late to the company that bears his name because of some buyouts.&nbsp; In 2000, Bowers and Merena sold itself to Collectors Universe, best known for owning PCGS.&nbsp; At that point, Dave no longer had the rights to his own name as a numismatic business.&nbsp; In 2004, Collectors Universe sold Bowers and Merena to Spectrum, which it merged with Stack’s in 2011 to form Stack’s Bowers.&nbsp; Not sure whether Spectrum hired Dave before or after 2011, but either way, that action reunited Dave with a company bearing his name.</p><p><br /></p><p>One sidenote is that when Collectors Universe sold Bowers and Merena to Spectrum, it retained the copyrights to B&amp;M catalogs and some of their other publications.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
