FYI, here are the articles that Burdick wrote when he decided to donate his collection to the Met, and for a couple of years afterward:

Thanks for re-posting the Burdick columns, David. I had not read those before. Burdick clearly states that the "cards will never be sold." I don't want to give them any ideas by asking if their cards are for sale. It's interesting that Burdick addressed the concerns about the cards being stored away. With the internet, I can view his T213-1 set on the web. Too bad they don't scan the backs.

They don’t scan the back because most of Burdicks collection was pasted into albums. Likely most of the backs are damaged from this. I would be shocked if the MET would part with any of the collection but interested to see what they say.
