My seat of the pants guess is that Burdick classified about 80%-85% of all known baseball issues up to his last revision (that we now know today) in 1960. I would love to know if he catalogued every one that he knew about. The guys like Bray, Barker, Burdick, DeNardo, Nagy, Carter etc... were as addicted, if not more so, than most of us are today. They didn't have the speed of the information highway though (internet) to make things happen infinitely quicker. I love the letter I have from Jefferson Burdick and the other from Buck Barker. Barker's was written on a Dec.31st. What a great way to party...talking about cards.
