Ted ZanidakisMr T206 Collector,
You are absolutely right. Back in the early '90s I made an
appointment to see Burdick's collection at NY Met of Art.
It was quite an experience. I really enjoyed looking thru
the many albums of Sports cards that had been very meticu-
lously organized by Burdick before he donated it to the Met.
But, the people at the Met, made it a very tedious exercise.
Understandably, they were concerned about theft; however, one
does not feel comfortable viewing this great collection. Not
only did they stand over you, but they rushed you. The people
at the Met do not really have an appreciation for this col-
lection. It should be traveled around the country and managed
by very credible hobby people. How this can be done, I do not
know. Perhaps some enterprising person, or group, can fund-
raise and accomplish this. It would be well worth it.
