Well, I have seen another print of the Compleat Mickey Mouse 
(1930 - 1955). A limited hardcover edition published
by Nichols I think.  I saw it just once at the home of a
Swedish donaldist. I believe it was he that provided the originals
for both the Nichols edition (200 numbered copies) and the portfolio.

A collector in Stockholm have several copies that
could very well come out into the market inside 
just a few years. ... if someone can persuade him
to let them go. 

And then there's the Carl Barks (never finished) 
portfolio, by the same publisher as the Mickey 
Mouse portfolio...
