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.
