Why do you think so? Do you think this by default when you don't know <BR>
the seller, or do you really have more information?</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

I wonder how much of their "collection" was accumulated while working for Barks?<BR>
It certainly is an unusual piece but not what most Barks collectors want. I would much prefer to own a piece of Barks memorabilia that Barks gave me than to buy this from former managers who were discharged</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>
