SCROOGE MCDUCK IN MONEY BIN SIGNED CARL BARKS 
Item # 1165265655
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1165265655

GENUINE "HAND-PAINTED" PRODUCTION CEL setup produced by the Walt Disney
Studios. HAND-SIGNED BY "THE" MAN HIMSELF "CARL BARKS". No Tax, Double
Matted and Professionally Framed. "Scrooge McDuck in the Money Bin". The
production cel is from the Disney series Duck Tails and is set up with the
famous and most collectible "Money Bin". Hand-signed on the cel by the
"creator" of Scrooge McDuck, Carl Barks (Mr. Barks has since past away). A
terrific highly collectible scene. Less than a hundred of these setups are
known to exist. Each unique and one of a kind. A great scene like this
signed by the creator of the character could sell for several thousand $$$
at a well advertised auction. WOW!! WHAT A DEAL YOU HAVE HERE!! Framed size
approx. 18" X 21". Quality framing done by Disney to complement the art.
NOTICE to "EVERYONE" looking at this auction. This auction is the direct
result of Production Art no longer being offered directly from Disney. We
are posting our collection, purchased directly from Disney, on eBay because
our supply of art will no longer exist. As of "now" Disney is returning any
production art left at their sales division (Walt Disney Art Classics) to
the divisions that they came from for storage, (Feature Film, Television,
Archives, etc.). Some of the production art will be destroyed to preseve
the integrity of the production art already on the market. Disney
Production Art is sure to appreciate on the secondary market because of
this withdrawl of merchandise. CLICK ON "VIEW SELLERS OTHER AUCTIONS" TO
SEE OUR OTHER DISNEY PRODUCTION ART AUCTIONS..ALL CLASS "A" IMAGES HAND
SELECTED BY THE GALLERY OWNER........ 
[...]
ON WITH THE AUCTION......REAL PRODUCTION ART FROM THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS.
THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS STUDIOS FOR ANIMATION ART. ALL OTHER STUDIOS PALE 
IN COMPARISON AND IN COLLECTIBILITY. This cel is a genuine hand-painted 
production cel that was photographed in the making of a Walt Disney 
Animation film. Genuine Disney seals on the cel and Disney Certificate of 
Authenticity posted on the back of the framed cel (certificate does provide
information on the film the cel is from). We are one of only a handful of 
Walt Disney Preferred Galleries that "were" authorized to purchase 
production art directly from the Walt Disney Studios. This cel is priced 
at the "minimum issue price" set by Disney. You won't see anything like 
this for less money. Only for a lot more, especially in the months to come.
Dare we say the word "investment". In this case I think we can. This cel is
certainly worth much more than what we're asking. Here's maybe your once in
a lifetime chance to acquire a fantastic fine art collection of Disney 
Production Art at the lowest price ever. Disney Sericels and Hand-Painted 
limiteds will also be no longer available from Disney as of Feb. 15th. If 
your interested in any of these before they're gone you can find them on 
our web site (see logo above).

Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge/Magica COLOR drawing 
Item # 1166365699
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1166365699

This is an original one of a kind signed COLOR sketch of Carl Barks's Uncle
Scrooge and Magica DeSpell. This was a preliminary drawing done for his
painting "I Wonder What My Fortune Cookie Says?" It shows Scrooge and
Magica in the money bin with Scrooge about to get clobbered with a poof
bomb. With his original paintings going for thouands and thousand of
dollars this is certainly an afordable alternative and best of all it is in
COLOR, which is certainly not what you usually see. Included is a COA from
the Carl Barks Studio dated 1997 which attests to the fact that this
drawing was part of the concept work for his oil painting and that one
seldom sees Scrooge and Magica together. It has all the ingredients for a
fabulous piece. It is in fine condition and Barks has signed it at the
bottom. Please email me with any questions.

DISNEY DONALD DUCK ORIGINAL ART BARKS 
Item # 1166589847 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1166589847

Original Donald Duck 
Full Color Pencil One-of-A-Kind Original Artwork by Carl Barks

This wonderful piece is titled: 
"Airborne and Climbing" 
It is an original pencil artwork by the legendary Carl Barks

On April 12, 1997, Walt Disney World celebrated Carl Barks' birthday in a
BIG WAY. Carl, along with 200 of his closest friends, celebrated his 96th
birthday with a "Duck" party and great collectibles. Carl produced 75
original drawings for the shindig and all of these one-of-a-kind original
pieces sold out.  Regretfully, Carl passed away last summer and original
pieces of this nature will become part of private collections in a very
short time.

The piece has been scanned for your review to included the actual image. 
Image is approx. 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" and comes framed in gold leafed molding
sized at 12 1/2" x 18 1/2" with UV Plexiglas as seen here. The back of the
picture is sealed with a Carl Barks Studio label. The item has been signed
in Carl's block style lettering on the corner of the drawing. The
electronic scan of this piece does not do justice to the magnificence of
Carl Barks' craft at 96 years of age! I am still in awe...

Please e-mail if you have any questions!
[No email address is mentioned. I'm not subscribed to Ebay, so I cannot
request it by clicking on the "seller" link. DvE.]

Item # 1166772519 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1166772519

Donald Duck and the Pixilated Parrot by Carl Barks. THERE IS A Carl Barks
autograph on the 1st page in green ink. As i did not see Barks sign this I
do not know if it is authentic. Apparently the person I got this from
didn't even know it was in there. PLEASE SEE THE CLOSE-UP IMAGE AND MAKE
YOUR OWN DECISION. This is a nice looking low grade book. There is spine
and edge wear with small tearc,chips and creases. Several small pen marks.
The inside of both covers have several pieces of tapeWill make a nice
addition to any collection.

CARL BARKS&WALT KELLY in OUR GANG COMICS#8 
Item # 1165801487 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1165801487

OUR GANG COMICS # 8 in about good- condition. This is one of the One Staple
books from the war years. (Dell Comics Publishers-November 1943
issue).Cover and centerfold are both loose at staple and there’s some wear
at spine. This is the issue that starts CARL BARK’S “BENNY BURRO” series
which ended at #36. I think that the BARNEY BEAR story inside is by WALT
KELLY also. Rare in any condition and both Barks and Kelly in the same
book. 

["This is one of the One Staple books from the war years"?
Which are the others? DvE.]
