Thanks, Tim.
The more I read about Burdick, the more i stand in awe of his contributions.
I do wish that this sickly, gnarled, hermit of a man, could know just how much he influenced the generations of vintage card collectors with his incredible dedication, astuteness, perseverance, and scholarship. Yes, i'd like to see a few of the 'errors' fixed, but the 'errors' are tiny specks compared to the unparalleled classification system he gave us.

One of his only friends, perhaps his closest, was the beloved Lionel Carter.
Two Giants. Primus inter pares.
