AJD Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thank you folks for the kind words. Beautiful Jon - I was tracking that one and am really pleased to see that you got it. Now I'm after one... Andrew, I thought about PMing you to make sure we weren't bidding against each other, but to be quite honest I figured it wouldn't matter b/c I didn't expect to win! My top bid was around $200 and I figured it would be clobbered several times over...I was really surprised that the book finished well under that. Anyway, it's a good sign...I'm sure there's a #20 out there with your name on it. (thumbs u Jon, I thought about bidding and was going to PM you for the same reason. But I got my nice #22 a couple of weeks ago and decided to let this one go. There's no doubt that there are some good duck books to be bought at remarkably agreeable prices right now. There's one in this week's Heritage that I want too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KolmarAvenue Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 ok, i'm obviously new to the boards, but i always see these dell ducks for sale at 2-3 bucks a pop. i'm sure that if it's carl barks vs. someone else it could get a premium. is it a case of high grade barks, popular/key barks covers etc...? what's the deal? don't get me wrong, i'm more of a silver age and up guy. I can get certain things, I just want to know why barks is such a big deal and i'm way to lazy to use the search function! if you're mad at me, just take a minute to look at olivia munn and you'll feel better.

Scrooge Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I guess you have to be of a certain age to have grown up reading Duck Barks stories. Anyone who ever did certainly has very fond memories of those stories. There is a magical aspect in the book long romps that Barks created. Try reading any stories Barks wrote for Uncle Scrooge from issue 1 to issue 20 and you should get a clear taste of our attraction for his work (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolmarAvenue Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Is there an "archive edition" that I can get a better idea of it with? I'm a child of the 70's..the brady's, partridge's and the super friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kite_Fun_Books Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) I am a child of the 70s too. Maybe a few years earlier than you. I also can't look at a book and tell it's bark. But I do read the disney books and some of the stories are just better than others. Just getting back into it again. Was at a shop in San Diego yesterday. Picked up about 30 WDC&S and Scrooges for $1 each. Lot of reprints from the early days. Also includes 7 of the 10 Scrooges with "Life and Times of Uncle Scrooge." Savings those for last. Read Uncle Scrooge Giant today and it had a great story about Scrooge in the Yukon. Very in depth. Great reading for a buck. Don't have to worry about keeping nice. Can share with the kid. But, in case you prefer the brady's: Edited September 14, 2009 by Kite_Fun_Books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang - it's always more fun when you don't know who you've outbid. No problem. I bid low. I picked up a WDC&S 251 9.4 off of ebay instead and stayed within the $80 budget for the weekend. Only 262 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrTech Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hey everybody just got back from the D23 Expo and had some Duck related pics to share. They held a contest for the 75th Anv. of Donald Duck and the winning painting received a Duckster. Got to see the presentation and the award winner and the other finalist paintings. Had a great time and missed taking my Pic. w/ the duck himself, just kept telling myself I'd do it tomorrow and never did. Maybe next year. Anyway Enjoy.
