I suppose one way to make it available to the public is to maybe make digital scans of these cards like John Warnock of Adobe has done with his rare antique books. Perhaps a coporate sponsorship(s)/fundraising of some sort or MLB can pitch in and do that with Burdick's collection.

I just did a quick Google search on Sir Edward Wharton-Tigar. Basically, he was a spy for the British Special Operations Executive (the equivalent of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services - the forerunner of the CIA) during WWII.
He amassed a collection of over two million cards, and yes, it does include a T206 Honus Wagner. Steve

Jeff- truth is, my apartment is a little too small. I'll have to do without.

It was a Seinfeld episode- that's what the pilot "Jerry" was about.

Tom--I have never seen the collection, but Richard and I have talked about a trip to London to see it. I would like to fill in the missing images in our book and I'm sure many of those cards reside in his group.

I know I've lived a provincial life, but I've never understood how butler could be a full time job. Couldn't the chef take on the butlering duties in his spare time? Or is the butler there just to prevent the embarrassment of having the chef spill something in his rush to answer the door?

You're right. I had to let mine go because there was just not enough to keep him busy.
