Has anyone seen Burdick's collection?

Matthew- the Metropolitan typically has an assortment of cards out on display, but it is only worth seeing if you want to spend some time going through the whole museum. There simply aren't enough cards for you to make the trip solely for that reason.

As far as getting an appointment to see the whole collection, that can be difficult. Many years ago it was much easier but when baseball cards grew in popularity it became a huge nuisance for them. Now you do need a reason, such as writing a book, to be given permission to see it. If somehow you can get in to see the whole thing, that is certainly worth it. But what they have up on the walls will take up maybe two minutes of your time.
