Default Burdickville

I spend alot of time at the Met,,,one of the great palaces of art,for sure.
However,as others have noted,their exhibitions of cards are not their strong suit...
Around five years ago or so I spent some time in the Print/Photo Library there wearing white gloves and leafing through Burdick's albums of postcards and non-sports cards. I recall that it just required a phone call and simple appointment...
To see his collection of baseball materials though,I believe, does require some kind of extra clearance-----
In any case, well worth it just going through the nonsports material...you really get a feel for Burdick's aesthetic and organizational sensibility.

Highly Recommended
