Burdick's T206 and other cards collection

Posted By: David Davis

Has anyone ever wondered how many 1000's of T206 and other cards Burdick must have owned. From what I have read, his collection does not have a vast number of duplicates. He catalogued hundreds of sets, and most likely owned every card he catalogued.

How many 1000's of cards did he have to purchase in order to build his collection, put together checklists, etc?

Back in the day, I don't think he could have looked through someone's cards, found the 2 or 3 he needed, and paid, what, a nickel a card? He had to have purchased hundreds of collections to build the ACC.

What does everyone think happened to the rest of the cards?
