Burdick at the Met
I know there have been previous threads about this wonderful collection. But they have been making progress cataloging and photographing the collection and making the images available on their web site.
When you bring up the collection the fist item pictured is T206 Wagner. But if you resort the collection from oldest to newest it brings up a number of albums pages that were assembled by Mr Burdick. They represent a national treasure trove of baseball card knowledge. But you can see that a good portion of the collection appears to be stored as Burdick left it. Which makes displaying large portions of the collection almost impossible. Where possible Burdick shared variations of different backs, more with T207's than T206's but still eye candy Willie Wonka style...
I spent a fw hours of my quarantine time enjoying the collection here are a few examples.
