Has anyone seen Burdick's collection?

But Bruce did say "I was stunned."

We are very impressed to see him use the first person singular.

Maybe his multiple personality disorder was home with the flu that day.

I saw parts of Burdick's collection on three occasions, once with Barry, and twice while working on the Old Judge book. As previously noted, permission is required for its viewing. Having said that, it never seemed unreasonably difficult to obtain the permission and, once given, the staff of the prints department was very helpful.

Great stuff guys, I was heading to New York to visit my father who is also a patron member of the Met. Maybe we'll go together.

Matthew, if he is a patron member of the Met, I will assume you will have no trouble getting to see it. In that case it is well worth the trip.

We apologize for the typos. We should not post before dawn.

As for commentary regarding the state of our mental health:

(1) From which Ivy League Medical schools do each of you hold a degree ?

(2) We would venture to say that our knowledge of the hobby, relationships with the most distinguished collectors (past and present) and education far surpass anything you have or will be able to achieve.

(3) Whilst we are open to criticism, we consider the commentary meaningless when it emanates from microminds.

(4) Our collection of ultra rare baseball memorabilia ranks among the top 15
in the world (no autographs, uniforms or bats.)

We have long-long commitment to building a world class collection and turning the impossible into possible. Unfortunately, some people are born with problems that can not be solved, even by the best of minds.

You'll find us at the National should you wish to address any of the aforementioned points.
