Default Burdick Collection Visit

Posted By: Marc S.

located in Philadelphia/Lower Merion County.

Would you be surprised if I told you that the collection, which is estimated to be worth between $15 and $25 billion, has never performed a complete inventory of their "goods".

They know what they have on display (they're not allowed to move or change the display, as per will stipulations) - but they have a TON of neat **** in his former home, in other holdings, etc. - and they began an inventory about 10 years ago - and are still calling in experts from various fields to assess valuations on many items that have never really been inventoried. CRAZY, crazy stuff.
