What would be a better place to House the Burdick collection than the Met? Visited by millions of visitors each year. The staff has the expertise and resources to maintain and preserve the cards. Not saying there is not a better place just wondered what that would be.
I know because of theft that security is increased but The Met, The Library of Congress and The Baseball Hall of Fame all Offer access to their collections and that many collectors have visited one or all of these. Not easy to balance Security. Preservation and creating displays that appeal to all levels of Folks that appreciate Baseball cards.
Understanding what Burdick went through when he searched for a home for his collection we are all fortunate that he and the Met agreed on a plan to preserve his collection that said all things change and evolve
