I can't recall ever seeing one for sale. I checked the Heritage archives and, assuming that 'walt poster' and a few similar terms would have found it, they haven't sold one.

 

Given the popularity of WDC&s though, there's bound to be some out there...?

Where can I find this poster?

I think you clip the order coupon from the bottom of the book and send it in with a silver certificate dollar. Then they will send you a poster and 12 issues of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories. Quite a deal, really.

Picked this up at a flea market.

I have been steadily upgrading my Scrooge collection. My focus is the original Barks books (1-71). I've just got some new early ones, and I really like the way the collection is coming along.

 

I have been trying to work out how to take a mega group shot, but I think I'll do it in lots of 10. Here's the first:

It's been a good week at my mailbox. As well as some beautiful early Scrooges, I got four more 1964 Australian Mobil giveaways.

 

There are 24 of these. I bought my first in early 2004, now I have 22 of them. Looking for #9 and 10...

 

Here's the new ones.

And I wanted to show this panel (which in this size comic is a full page). The Australian colouring went through several changes. In the first half of the 1960s it was at its best (IMHO) - and I think this panel is sensational.

Enjoy.

Were these the ones I saw on EBAY recently?

Yes, that's the only place I can find these. I've tried some dealers and always look in antiques/collectable shops, but never see them.

Now that shot consists of ten of the best stories in all comics! OK, I exagerrate a bit, issue #3 (495) isn't that great but the rest are downright genius.

Hey Scrooge, :hi:

It sold last year in the Feb. Auction for $28,680. My dad was thinking about it then not so much now. hm

 

Been busy since the Nov. Sig. Auction w/ the Uncle Scrooge books and finally made it to the top of the Registry. Dad received a big box of Ducks today so here goes. :banana:

 

Don't have scans of the US books that got him over the hump yet. :tonofbricks:

 

:grin: (thumbs u

Got a chance to scan these this weekend. The US 15 was enough to get my dad to that #1 spot on the Registry. :headbang:

 

Lots of good books in the coming weeks, too many to choose from. :pullhair:

 

Enjoy.

Nice books and congrats on the #1 spot!

 

The Uncle Scrooge 15 is tough in high grade. The census shows three file copies in 9.4, a 9.0 and then it's your 7.5 and 3 at 7.0 - and that's it. There are twice as many 14s and 16s in corresponding grades. I had to wait quite a while to find a decent raw copy - and it's a 6.5/7.0

Is there a nicer run of forty in comicdom? I think these covers are classics.

 

There's a few here I'll upgrade at some stage, but the run is looking good. (Apologies for running the first pic again, but I thought they would look nice together.)

 

I'll do the rest of the Barks originals next time (#41-71).
