Awesome post. I love reading these old collectors bulletins! This one was particularly intriguing due to Burdick's mentioning that he was in the process of starting to donate his collection to the Met.

Hi Ed- good point that the museum has no motivation to sell it. However, they could raise money in the process which could be used to acquire something else. I would feel better about it if most of the cards were on display, or could be easily accessed by patrons. But they make it especially difficult for someone to get an appointment, and I feel that things have changed in the fifty years since Burdick finished cataloguing it. I'm really not sure what is best, but it doesn't seem like the current situation is ideal.

Leon,
Thanks for continuing to post these. Very interesting. Barry, That is a very interesting question you raise. I also would be happier if they would even periodically do a display of them. But if they virtually never show them and make them almost impossible to access for those who are interested (perhaps for understandable reasons), then why not sell them and generate a few million dollars for things they are interested in displaying? They answer may be that they are legally bound to keep them as part of an arrangement make with Burdick. WHo knows? JimB
