Default Burdick Collection Visit

Posted By: Joe P.

Thank you for this interesting thread.
Thank you for relating your experience, take and thoughts of your lightning like two hour tour of the exhibit.
It must have been a combination of frustrations and delight during those two hour, but you have to admit, a lot of us would give almost give anything to have been able to inadvertently sneak a peek at some of those baseball cards.
From what you said, it sounds like you were allowed to have a pencil and pad to make your notes, am I reading that right?
Also, making digital images of the cards sounds like a doable situation, did you mention that to them?

Some have said that having the collection moved to the Hall of Fame would be the more fan friendly and logical thing to do.
It sounds logical, but I believe that I've heard where the Hall also has a donation problem.
The problem being lack of display room.
As I understand it, they're loaded with stuff that are still in boxes in their basement. ... Also, things have disappeared from there.
Again, thanks for sharing.
Joe
