Default My trip to see the Burdick Collection

Posted By: jay behrens

In all likelyhood, if there is an open spot, the cards was stolen. Many of the true rarities were stolen over the years when you could view without special permission. I am sure that more than a few unscupulous collectors that knew Burdick had left his collection to the Met visited the collection to get cards they needed for their own collections, as I am sure security in the 60s was lax, at best.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.
