Very cool Rich. I've never seen a complete set like that in the envelope. Here is a Christmas gift announcement.

Bob, those yearly notices make a wonderful collection and even after they switched to postcards for the last few, the art was still great.  The one you posted is one of my favorites.

I found a new WDCS on ebay last week.  I usually don't buy the issues with covers by "that other artist", but I love this one.  I'd say it was worth $20...

That would be hard to turn down for $20!

Yeah there are deals out there from this era if you are patient..

There are so many of the late 40s and 50s books available that I doubt the prices will ever go up.  LOL  Probably not a great investment, but that's good if you're just a collector and want them...:bigsmile:

Duck prices have been soft for years now. Every now and then one does OK - but that's typically "just below guide" as opposed to the "well below guide"! A good example is really nice 6.0 OW/W WDC&S #5 that Heritage sold this week for $720 (guide $768).

How do you think my WDCS 95 would do?  Guide, Over-guide, Under-guide?  1st Barks cover...9.2 or so...Looks like a 9.2 sold 2 years ago on HA for $1,254.00.  That's almost triple guide...

Tough one to say, especially raw. If it graded 9.2 it would be equal census high (3 in 9.2 to date, none higher) and would likely attract a premium. The one Heritage sold in 2017 went for 3x guide!

I think (but can't know) that if it graded lower the price would fall off pretty quickly and would likely be guide-ish.  2c

Thanks.  (thumbsu  There is a 9.0 that sold in 2009 for over $500, and it looks nicer than the 9.2.  I will never understand CGC's grading...hm

You and me both! But FWIW I heavily discount duck prices obtained pre-2010 as things went a bit silly around 2006* and took a while to die back again.

*Egregious example: my 7.0 WDC&S #25 sold for $2,151 in 2007 but I bought it privately a few years later for $335!

I need one of these.  

I have sold very high grade Barks Duck books for well over guide.

High grade ducks can do really well. There are more than a few deep pocket Barks collectors around the world. That said, even high-grade Barks books can slip through the cracks every once in a while and go for a "reasonable" price. As Overstreet says, "Prices vary widely on this book." :roflmao:I grabbed this off of eBay cheap enough that I almost felt I stole it.
