Default Burdick's T206 and other cards collection
Posted By: Larry

There are a handful of private collections spanning 1887-1914 that are larger than Edwards' 2100 cards, but only about three collections larger than Burdick's 30,000+ from the timeframe his collection spans (sportscards only) held in private hands. Quantity comparisons are easier to judge than quality comparisons, so not as sure about that. Burdick glued and taped his cards to albums, so there would be significant damage to them. Also am not sure how Edwards' cards are affixed in the LOC albums?
