yes, last one was sold for 450$ in August, a pretty nice copy!

I got 3 books from Ken (waiting to receive them soon): however many of them were in the low grades, so I picked up a very rare one, plus other two. I'll post them as soon as they're in my hands

Very nice ones!!! Well done! Sure you want to grade them? They have so nice stories inside that I would love to read again and again...

Well, interesting story. More details here: https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D++6548 Apparently it was not published, probably because Whitman's license was acquired by Gladstone in that period. Something about it in French: https://picsou.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Le_Secret_du_Perroquet

Found LFC 16:

Too much for that copy (ugly at my eyes)... not a good time to buy Disney's on HA, prices are getting crazy in the last 6 months. I'll quit HA for a while, waiting for "normal/human/reasonable" prices. I have to show you mine, paid much much less just 3 years ago...

.. and just a year ago I missed a 4.0 sold at 2,4K... as always the Platinum Session is not the place to save money. Sunday's auctions are much better...

Probably another 50k+ worth item. We can enjoy the show (nice auction, to be said).

Maybe already discussed, but I noticed that at least 2 issues of WDCS have a "star" on cover: 1 & 5. I found relevant photos around the web. Anybody able to explain the purpose of the "star"? Maybe copies for former MMM subscribers? It could be classified as a "variant"!

A friend of mine has the CGC 4.5, but he has all the WDCS plus everything about Disney that is on Overstreet (as he said once, Overstreet 2003). Nice copy to add if you have all the others, indeed. It's certaintly something that would sell quite high on HA or at other auctions houses.

and here is my copy of FC4:

Well, the final price will be in the order of 4k I guess, but the copy is under CGC slab since 2010: I'm rather suspicious of the real conditions after 11y. I read the slab can slightly damage the comic when it has already some defects and some comics "regraded" after a few years, were downgraded by CGC (apparently CGC was larger in grading a few years ago). I buy CGC only if within the last 5y (although I prefer no-slabbed copies, to be able to read them).

Let me show the latest entry I'm very happy with: And page 2 is just great image from the '30!

One I still need to get in my hands...

Well, if you're listing "key list of Duck books", then you cannot miss it. If you go only for comic books, then skip it

I think you should add the first comic book dedicated to DD:

It looks a bit rare, but it appears from time to time. I got my copy a few years ago:

As far as I know it is... great you posted probably my all-time favourite cover... I'll post my copy asap!

I think you're right... usually the strip counts, while the solo image is not "generally" considered. However, for the sake of completeness, this appearance of Daisy should be mentioned as well. Here my copy of LF16 (one of my favourite):

Indeed that info is not correct: LF16 is first appearance of Daisy strip on a comic album. The one on MMM is probably the first image (although it may have been extracted from a strip), unless she's in previous MMM (to be carefully checked).

Wonderful one. Looks like the last copy left. Its exceptional dimensions are not that evident...

I just started to collect a few numbers of this wonderful "magazine". Covers are great, content varies a lot between beginning and end. What is, in your opinion, the best cover and the best one in terms of content? For me the VOL1 n.8 is the nicest cover, where DD shows all his strenght! See my copy below:
