Why Im writing tho is this, I have an actress card that has the "met museum" stamp and a gold small stamp that says " gift of JP Burdick".Plus, it has some pencil notations on front and back, name of lady, etc? Now, does anyone have ANY cards w the Burdick stamp, of this actress or any sports issue? I don't know if Ive got something stolen, or a souvenir or ??? Any help would be appreciated.

Scott.

Are you referring to the N245 Actors & Actresses set? I know Burdick had close to 2000 of those in his collection. You want to talk monster sets, the
N245 is estimated at 3000+ cards and counting.

These are a few examples in my collection. Actor Edwin Booth is the brother of John Wilkes Booth. No Burdick stamps unfortunately:
