[No idea if this item really contains Barks material. The center pages
are not shown. So, maybe I'm accidently "helping" the seller in getting
undeserved attention. Does someone know this publication? DvE.]

Item # 1158256171 
Carl Barks signed sketch of Scrooge-Bear Mt 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1158256171

This is a Carl Barks(1901-2000)signed original one of a kind pencil 
drawing of Uncle Scrooge, Donald and his Nephews in a scene from the 
classic story CHRISTMAS ON BEAR MOUNTAIN. Included is the COA from 
the Carl Barks Studio which states this drawing was part of the concept 
work for his "Bear Mountain" watercolor. Carl executed this in 1995 in 
advance of the 50th anniversary celebration of Scrooge's first apearance 
in the comics. The drawing is in fine condition with the size being
11x8.5 overall with the image size 8.5x6 inches. All handwritten 
notations are in Carl's own hand. I have included a small color photo 
of what the finished piece looked like. With his original paintings 
going for tens of thousands of dollars and even some of is lithos 
exceeding a thousand this is certainly an affordable alternative.
