Well, but that crazy behaviour of "fans" sounds to be a chance for all
the fanzines you draw covers for. Just for getting money in the "bin"...

Possible text of an eBay-auction:

----------
Full coloured print from Don Rosa, FANTASTIC! Limited edition, only
600 prints were made and there will be NO REPINT in the future. Printed
SIGNATURE by the Author included!!!

The condition of this fantastic signed and limited print is mint, it
was never framed! No damaging, perfectly clear.

The included fanzine this print was made for will be delivered, too!
It's also in mint condition, never read!
----------

Only humour? Yes and no. From time to time people try this at eBay:
Selling an issue of our "Der Donaldist" and say in big letters that it
have an Barks-Cover... But fortunately I've never seen an auction
where such a "fan" will get more than 4-5 Euro.
