I've seen a good chunk of the Burdick collection while researching my book. I've also got a copy of the book indexing the collection.

The vast majority is not baseball cards.

He did not have two of each card. He had one of as many front variations as he could and usually as many of the backs as he could, glued face-down so you could see them.

His completion was spotty. He had tons of N172s (a whole book), only a few of some of the caramel cards (he had 2 E211 Yorks, for example, but a pretty full fronts set of E210s).

The Wagner was not stolen. I saw it on display at the Met.

The 1933 Lajoie was gone.
