50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Love the expression on the rabbit on the front of the ski. mm More classic Kelly work plus the great work of the printers at Western Publishing who brought so much depth to these covers!

Norrin_Radd Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've been away from the Gold forum for a long time (over 5000 unread posts ). But I just caught up on the Ducks thread. Love Barks ducks. I need to re-read my reprints sometime this year. I like these FC 147 pages. Barks original art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Congratulations. That book will always be a joy to open. Just for fun, I checked cgcdata for the Disney books with most CGC submissions. Their top 2,000 list has, as far as I could find, 3 Disney books: 281. Donald Duck Adventures-Free Comic Book Day (2003), 700 submissions ... 1,526. Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge 219 (1987), 205 submissions ... 1,621. Four Color 386 (1952), 193 submissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotemo Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not the best cover, but hard to find this pretty. Wow! That looks like artwork from the New Yorker rather than a Disney piece. Pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transplant Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Just for fun, I checked cgcdata for the Disney books with most CGC submissions. Their top 2,000 list has, as far as I could find, 3 Disney books: 281. Donald Duck Adventures-Free Comic Book Day (2003), 700 submissions Seriously? Why? I checked the census. There are exactly 700 copies of the Gemstone/ANA variant in the census for Donald Duck Adventures (nn-2003). Therefore, I'm guessing it was a promotion of some kind by Diamond where the books were sent out slabbed. The grades even range from 8.0-9.8.

Transplant Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Looked at a copy on Heritage. Each one is printed with "Compliments of Gemstone Publishing ANA World's Fair of Money Baltimore 2003" where the blank is usually left for a store stamp. Clearly, it was a Geppi promotion or giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
