Burdick cataloged his tens of thousands of cards some 80 years ago, without the help of internet, national card conventions and the far reaching arms of today's media. To think that Burdick, if he were alive today, would have the arrogance to think that he could not have made any mistakes, or that he would not have wanted or accepted updates/corrections to his ACC based on 8 decades of new finds, research and debate, is hard for me to believe.

Totally agree!!! Incredible card btw!

Great looking Cobb.
Who is thinking anything concerning Burdick not knowing he made mistakes? He absolutely knew he probably did AND he wanted updates and corrections. Had he not mentioned the similarity of T213 to T206, I would be right there with you. ..I could be wrong but to me this is a strong argument for him knowing what he was doing on this one. He didn't make these analogies often in his descriptions (relatively speaking)...But at this point everyone can think what they want to. It's all fun!! This is from the 1960 version of the ACC..
