Default Burdick the Amazing

Posted By: Rick

He was crippled with arthratis while he was still kinda of young, a short guy, thin, probably kinda of shy and unassuming.

Since he had no kids or family, he was just devoted to cards, he really didnt seem to want the publicity or even much reconigtion for his amazing work.

If i remember correctly there were 5 contributors to the ACC they all had pictures of themselves in the book except for Burdick.

I dont think collectors pay him enough due, when asked what were the most important changes in our hobby, his name doesnt come up too often.

His collection should be on display where it could be seen in its fullness and his legacy remembered.
