can deaccession (sell off) items from a particular collection--especially if it's been donated? Isn't it like 50 years? Or is there no set amount. Wonder if the Met would consider deaccessioning the Burdick collection--it would certainly add funds to their coffers while allowing the cards to enter the public domain. Maybe somehow the HOF could purchase them. It's just a shame that they're bottled up like that with so much potential. Good conservators could probably 'save' many of the glued in cards.
