Even knowing the history of the Walt Disney Company, it is difficult to appreciate just how much Walt Disney’s life changed between 1923 and 1938 – but it’s clear how much he changed the world. Walt rented a room from his Uncle Robert in Los Angeles in July of 1923, and in the next five years sold the Alice comedies, moved the Studio to a storefront, got married, created and lost Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and sold his beloved Moon Roadster to finance the first sound cartoon “Steamboat Willie.” That cartoon of course, was also the debut of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Overnight Walt Disney was the premier animation studio in the world, and the Technicolor Silly Symphonies and first animated feature “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” confirmed that role. 1. A Wood Piece from Walt Disney’s First Studio. (Disney, 1923) A wood section from Walt Disney’s garage animation studio in Los Angeles. The garage workshop is often credited as Walt’s first animation studio, and this wood was salvaged during a more recent project to save and preserve the garage. It measures 2” long and is in good used condition. It comes with a COA from Disney Historian Phil Sears. $300 - $500

2. An Original Mickey Mouse Barn Dance Poster. (Columbia, 1929) A rare Columbia Studios one sheet Mickey Mouse poster. Columbia distributed Disney’s theatrical shorts between 1929 and 1932. This stock Mickey poster features the 1929 Mickey Mouse Short, “The Barn Dance.” Posters from Mickey’s early days before Disney made the switch from Columbia to United Artists are quite rare, but what makes this poster even more rare is that it mentions Ub Iwerks. By 1930, Iwerks had left Disney, and his name was removed from further poster printings. Measuring 29”x42” the poster has been beautifully restored and mounted to linen. One of only a handful of examples we have seen, the poster is in fine condition. $9,000 - $12,000 5

3. An Original Mickey Mouse Barnyard Battle Poster. (Columbia, 1929) A rare Columbia Studios one sheet Mickey Mouse poster. Columbia distributed Disney’s theatrical shorts between 1929 and 1932. This stock Mickey poster features the 1929 Mickey Mouse Short, “Barnyard Battle,” however, it was probably printed after 1930 as it is missing Ub Iwerks’ name. Iwerks left the studio in 1930 and his name was removed from later poster printings. Posters from Mickey’s early days before Disney made the switch from Columbia to United Artists are quite rare. Measuring 29”x42” the poster has been beautifully restored and mounted to linen. One of only a handful of examples we have seen, the poster is in fine condition. $9,000 - $12,000 6


A CELEBRATION OF THE DISNEY STUDIO AND DISNEY PARKS

As Walt Disney is often quoted as saying; “It All Started With A Mouse.” The image of Mickey measures 4”x5.25” on untrimmed 11”x9.5” animation paper.

7. Mickey Mouse Old King Cole Animated Window Display. (Old King Cole, 1935) An extremely rare papier mache and wood animated window display created by the Old King Cole company for The Walt Disney Studios. Between 1935 and 1938, the Old King Cole Company was licensed to produce store displays featuring Disney characters using a special type of papier mache called “laminate.” Their first displays were images of Mickey Mouse. These displays were static or could be animated for an additional cost. Disney’s merchandising representative Kay Kamen would market these large displays to store owners to help increase their foot traffic. The displays were extremely successful; however, they were not made to last, and many were discarded after their initial use. The few that still exist today are extremely sought after, surviving as a testament to the success of Mickey Mouse as a brand, and the advertising genius of Kay Kamen. Measuring approximately 40”x40”, the Mickey display is in good used condition with minor surface wear throughout from use. A small break in the tail has been professionally repaired. The original motor and metal armature that once animated the display are still connected to the reverse, however some of these pieces will likely need to be serviced or replaced for the display to animate again. The display has been beautifully mounted in a Plexiglas box for display. This item may require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates. $15,000 - $20,000 8

A CELEBRATION OF THE DISNEY STUDIO AND DISNEY PARKS

When gallery owner Guthrie Courvoisier of San Francisco learned that Disney animation cels were being test-marketed in a department store in St. Louis, Missouri, he wrote a letter to the Studio to argue that a fine art establishment was a more appropriate venue for animation art. Before this, cels were not valued after a production was complete, and they were typically reused, destroyed, or as Roy E. Disney later recalled, thrown down the hall by the animators to slide on. Courvoisier convinced Roy Disney, the business mind between the Disney brothers, and essentially invented the collecting of animation art. The Courvoisier Gallery was granted an exclusive license to market Disney’s original animation art, and many of the surviving cels from that era were originally sold by Courvoisier.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS

Charlotte Clark was working as a baker in Hollywood in the late 1920s when she recognized the potential for a doll based on the rising star of the day, Mickey Mouse. She asked her 14-year-old nephew Bob Clampett to find her reference pictures of Mickey to model a doll after. When Bob was unable to find suitable images, he sat through three consecutive screenings of “Steamboat Willie” at the Fox Theatre in Glendale and sketched them himself. (Clampett went on to become a legendary animator in his own right, which is a story for our upcoming auction!) Working from Clampett’s sketches, Clark made her pattern and constructed the first Mickey Mouse doll in 1930. Clampett’s father thought the doll was superb and drove it to Disney Studios to get permission from Walt and Roy to produce it. The Disney Brothers loved the doll so much that they hired Clark to manufacture it. Initially, the doll was only given to friends, business acquaintances, and visitors to the Studio. After a photograph of Walt with one of the dolls appeared in a magazine, demand skyrocketed. Walt rented a residence beside the Disney Studio where Clark, Bob Clampett, and Bob’s father supervised six young women in the production of 300-400 dolls a week. Walt and Roy tried to find a manufacturer that could produce Mickey dolls in the same quality as Clark and fast enough to meet public demand, with no success. The Disney Brothers ultimately decided to simply release the pattern for the doll to the public through the McCall Pattern Company, so talented seamstresses could produce the dolls themselves at home for a lower cost and still at a high quality. Clark continued to design dolls for Disney, and later worked with the Knickerbocker Toy Company and Gund overseeing high-quality dolls of Disney characters. Clark died in 1960 at the age of 76 having worked for 30 years with the Disneys. Her dolls have become a timeless reminder of Walt’s commitment to quality from the very beginning.

36. A Charlotte Clark Minnie Mouse Doll. (Charlotte Clark 1930s) A beautiful hand-made Minnie Mouse Doll by Charlotte Clark. This rare 17” tall version of the doll is mostly velveteen with satin hands, oil cloth eyes, corduroy shoes, bristle eyelashes and fabric skirt and pantaloons. The bottom of Minnie’s left shoe is stamped with a Walt Disney Productions copyright. Minnie is missing the flower in her hat and some of her eyelashes, but overall, presents in very good condition with very light discoloration to the face and clothing. This Doll came from Clark’s personal collection and was given to a relative in the 1940s. $1,000 - $2,000 18

37. A Rare Charlotte Clark Pluto Doll. (Charlotte Clark 1930s) A beautiful hand-made Pluto Doll by Charlotte Clark. Clark’s Pluto Dolls are considered rarer than her Minnie and Mickeys, and this unusual 15” tall version of the doll is the only one of this size we have seen. The doll came from Clark’s personal collection and features oil cloth eyes and hand-stitched accents. Pluto’s left leg has a tear at the rear knee but overall, the doll is in very good condition and presents beautifully. This Doll was given to a relative in the 1940s. $600 - $800

Overall, the doll presents beautifully and is one of only three we have ever seen. $600 - $800

40. A Charlotte Clark Jiminy Cricket Doll. (Charlotte Clark, 1940s) A rare Jiminy Cricket Doll by Charlotte Clark.

There are 4 small holes on the back of his pants plus 4 or 5 on the front although most of these are hidden by his turquoise shirt. The holes range from 1/8” to .25”. There are additional holes on his face including .25” by his nose, .25” by his left cheek, a pair that are .25” below the mouth and 5 that are smaller and scattered. His black jacket has just 3 tiny holes, mostly on the reverse. Attached to his ankle is a “Charlotte Clark Creation” tag with text “Made Especially For Walt Disney ©W.D.

In 1940 the Walt Disney Studio was poised for expansion. With the profits from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” plus extensive marketing including Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphony characters, Disney expanded to a new Studio lot in Burbank with room to grow while setting to work on three ambitious animated features: “Fantasia,” “Pinocchio,” and “Bambi.” As World War II froze foreign markets and diverted much of the Studio’s workforce into service, Disney became an important part of the war effort, creating dozens of instructional films for the Army and hundreds of military insignia featuring Disney characters for all the armed forces.

(Disney, 1939) An extremely rare and large set of Old King Cole window displays featuring Pinocchio and Geppetto from Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio.” The hand-painted molded relief displays are constructed of the company’s exclusive Paper Mache’ process, ‘”Laminite.” Known mainly for displays of Mickey and the “Fab Five”, Old King Cole also manufactured displays for “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs” and “Pinocchio” before their license expired in 1942. Although we have seen a handful of “Snow White” displays, “Pinocchio” displays are extremely rare, so much so that we have only seen two small examples from the film other than the pieces offered here.

Pinocchio’s right arm is hinged with an armature that allowed it to be motorized to move up and down. A small portion of the point of Pinocchio’s cap is missing. A 3-inch diameter portion of the top of Geppetto’s hair is also missing. Overall, the pieces present beautifully and are in surprisingly good unrestored condition, still retaining their original paint with crazing and flaking throughout.

The 1950s were an era of expansion for Disney. “One Hour In Wonderland” aired on Christmas Day 1950 in homes across America, the first of many Disney hits on television. Walt used his weekly Disneyland program to promote the world’s first theme park of the same name, new television icons like Davy Crockett, and cinematic triumphs like “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and “Sleeping Beauty.” By the end of the decade, Disney was a leader in film, television, and in-person entertainment, and on the path to ever bigger and better things.

Her conceptual work and styling set the tone for the first three features for the Studio in the 1950s. Her early concepts are considered by many collectors to be the most desirable and important artwork to come out of the Studio. 37

Disney Animation reached a new high in the 1990s. “Beauty and the Beast” premiered in 1991, and was the first animated feature to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. The hot streak continued with “Aladdin,” and “The Lion King.” Before the decade’s end, Feature Animation was firmly reestablished as the powerhouse of the Disney Company. Touchstone Pictures released “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” which combined stop motion photography with CGI effects. Pixar’s “Toy Story” in 1995 broke new ground as the first fully computer-animated feature film. Pixar’s clean CGI style would quickly grow to be the preferred method of animation production in years to come.

All of them – Les Clark, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, John Lounsbery, Woolie Reitherman, and Frank Thomas – were named Disney Legends in 1989.

In the early 1960’s, Walt Disney wondered if East Coast audiences would support a Disneyland, perhaps being “too sophisticated” for such entertainment. This notion was disproved at the New York World’s Fair in 1964-65. WED Enterprises developed four shows for the Fair: Ford’s Magic Skyway, It’s a Small World presented by Pepsi Cola and UNICEF, General Electric’s Progressland featuring the Carousel of Progress, and Illinois’ Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

Since Walt Disney Imagineering was formed in 1952 – first as Walt Disney Inc. then WED Enterprises – they have become famed as the literal magic makers who bring the immersive experiences of Disney Parks to life. “Blue sky speculation” encouraging development of an experience on a grand scale, regardless of cost, meshes with principles such as “plussing” meaning every little detail can be tweaked to create the best show possible.

Retlaw Enterprises holds a storied and complicated position in the history of the Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney Imagineering, and even the Zorro television show. In short, Retlaw was the Disney family’s company, originally formed in 1950 to manage Walt’s elaborate backyard railroad, the Carolwood Pacific. In the years to follow Walt used Retlaw to start business ventures that Roy deemed risky for the Company to delve into, and renamed as WED Enterprises (now Imagineering), the Disneyland Railroad, and even the Mark Twain Steamboat and Monorail fell under Retlaw’s ownership. In short as new ventures of Retlaw proved successful and profitable, Roy insisted they be sold to the Walt Disney Company, representing a diversion of interest to Walt. When Imagineering was finally sold to the Disney Company in 1965, the family business converted to the name Retlaw Enterprises. After Walt passed away, Retlaw managed the Disney naming rights for the family, while diversifying into local television stations, a jet service, and even avocado groves. It was during this time the Retlaw offices displayed the prints you see here, proudly displayed alongside the awards Walt Disney received in his lifetime. Today, Retlaw is the Walt Disney Family Foundation, overseeing the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.

With the look of small-town America in the early 1900s, Main Street U.S.A. brings to life Walt Disney’s nostalgia for his childhood in Marceline, Missouri. Recalling a time when horse-drawn carts were still in use but automobiles were just becoming popular, it brings to life an era with one foot in the past and one in the future. Guests stroll Main Street with its unique shops and restaurants, or board the Disneyland Railroad to travel the Park by train. Main Street U.S.A. serves as a doorway between reality and fantasy, a portal between the real world and the adventures yet to come. 384. A Robert Olszewski Main Street USA Model. (Disneyland, 2002-2012) A stunning large model of Disneyland by renowned miniaturist Robert Olszewski. Olszewski created a series of highly detailed “Z Scale” 1/220th replicas of the buildings in Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. between 2002 and 2012. Although sold individually, a platform was made that would allow collectors to take the buildings off the display bases and replicate the entirety of Main Street. Very few of these platforms and sets were sold, and even fewer were completed. This amazing set completes Olszewski’s faithful recreation of Main Street in a jaw-dropping display. The model measures approximately 72”x35”, and is in very good condition with expected minor wear from previous display. In addition to the buildings, platform, and tree accessory pieces, this set also includes additional Electrical Light Parade sets 1 and 2 and many small character pieces to set up throughout the display. The display is wired for lighting but has not been tested. The entire set is in fine condition and comes with a custom plexiglas cover. This item may require special shipping arrangements. Please inquire for details and estimates. $20,000 - $25,000

A CELEBRATION OF THE DISNEY STUDIO AND DISNEY PARKS

The idea of a “haunted manor” attraction was discussed by Walt and his Imagineers long before Disneyland opened. As early as 1951, concept designs by Harper Goff for Main Street, U.S.A. showed a spooky old home high on a hill behind a church graveyard. As the attraction developed, Imagineers argued with Walt that a haunted house just had to appear run down and decrepit, but Walt insisted that nothing in Disneyland Park should appear shabby. The grounds of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion are currently undergoing renovation with a new gift shop under construction, promising that Haunted Mansion collectibles will remain a fanfavorite for years to come.

632. An Original “Haunted Mansion” Stretching Portrait. (Disneyland, 1969) An original hand-painted on canvas “stretching portrait” used within Disneyland’s “Haunted Mansion” attraction. As the elevator descends, the portraits would “stretch” to reveal their full image. However, the consistent “stretching” would cause some wear to the canvas, and these portraits would need to be replaced. From 1969 to 1972, the portraits, with imagery designed by Imagineer Marc Davis, were all hand-painted whereas later versions were printed. This stretching portrait depicts a welldressed gentleman (from the waist up) standing on a barrel of explosives. The canvas measures 45”x105” and the portrait is in very good condition with wear throughout from use. It has been mounted to a frame using the original mounting holes in the canvas that were used at the park. These portraits are exceptionally rare and sought-after artifacts from the earliest years of the “Haunted Mansion”. Due to size and weight, special shipping arrangements may be necessary. Please inquire before bidding. $100,000 - $150,000 191

Early in 1963, WED Enterprises was overtaxed working to complete Mr. Lincoln, Carousel of Progress, and Ford’s Magic Skyway – three full attractions for the 1964-65 World’s Fair. Still, Walt couldn’t say no when UNICEF and Pepsi asked for an attraction to celebrate the children of the world – with only 11 months to complete it, and an empty box of a building to fit it in. With Mary Blair leading the design and Marc Davis and Rolly Crump designing the scenes, characters, and toys, they created a water-based dark ride that proved incredibly successful. Approximately ten million tickets were sold during the Fair, with proceeds going to UNICEF. In 1966 It’s a Small World moved to Disneyland, where its iconic music and history set it to become one of the greatest Disney attractions of all time.

EPCOT, the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,” was originally conceived as an experimental city, a modern center for American innovation and urban living. This concept was abandoned after Disney’s death in 1966, as the Company was uncertain about the feasibility of maintaining and operating a full city. When Imagineers began developing a second theme park for Walt Disney World in the 1970s, they drew on the futuristic themes of Walt’s EPCOT plans.

16. Auctioneer May Submit Items to Auction: The auctioneer, his employees or affiliates, may consign items to the auction. 17. Auctioneer May Grant Concessions to Consignors or Bidders: The auctioneer, in his discretion, may extend guarantees, loans, or advances to consignors. The auctioneer reserves the right to extend additional credit by way of extended payment terms at its sole discretion. 18. Minimum or Nominal Bids: The auctioneer will set a minimum bid before a lot can be sold. Bids below the minimum bid may not be accepted or recognized by the auctioneer. Further, nominal bids, or small opening bids, or very nominal advances in the bidding may not be recognized by the auctioneer, in its sole discretion. Any lot not receiving any recognized bid shall be passed. 19. Winner of Lot: The highest qualified bidder recognized by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the bid received first by the auctioneer shall prevail. If there is a dispute among Bidders, the auctioneer may in his sole and absolute discretion re-offer the lot. There are times when a bid may not be recognized by the auctioneer; in that situation the recognized bid will be the winning bid regardless of whether or not the competing, but unrecognized bid, may have been higher. The auctioneer may in his absolute discretion re-open the bidding immediately after closing a lot to accept any bid in error not previously recognized. 20. Good Faith Bidding: Auctioneer reserves the right to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid. All bids must be made in good faith. A bid is not made in good faith, if it is made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a minor, or if made in excess of any applicable credit limit. 21. Lots: All lots will be sold in numerical order (unless a lot is re-offered) and will not be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close of the entire auction, any lot. 22. Rescission of Sale of Lot: Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of any lot in the event of non-payment, disputed ownership, clerical error, clerical omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason in the auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion. 23. Lots Sold After Auction: In some cases lots will be sold after the auction. The Terms and Conditions apply to those sales as well. 24. Payment in Dollars: All sales are strictly for cash; and payment must be made in United States Dollars. 25. Amount of Payment: All deliveries, and transfers of title, are subject to the full payment of all monies due for the lot, including the payment of the separate Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium shall be 18% of the highest successful recognized bid for inperson, phone, or absentee bidding; 21% for bids placed through internet platforms. Auctioneer retains the Buyer's Premium as its own property. 26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

Pick Up, Shipping, and Insurance Concerns: It is the Buyer's responsibility to pick up the lot being purchased, or make arrangements at his own cost, for packing, shipping, and handling. It is the Buyer's duty and obligation to insure the lot from the date that title transfers to the successful Bidder, i.e., upon the receipt of full payment by the Auctioneer (the "TRANSFER DATE"). Risk of loss passes to the Buyer on the TRANSFER DATE. Delivery costs and insurance during delivery are the responsibility of the Buyer. Frames are sold as-is. Auctioneer is not responsible for damage to a framed item during shipment. Such breakage shall not be the basis for return for any lot. All items must be shipped, or will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus. 28. Interest: Any unpaid invoice will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by California law. 29. Attorney’s Fees: In the event that it in necessary for the auctioneer to employ an attorney the successful Bidder agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. 30. Security Interest Granted: The successful Bidder grants a security interest in the lot being sold to secure the payment of the invoice. The successful bidder grants a possessory lien as well to the auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the rights granted under Article 9 of the California Commercial Code including but not limited to the right of sale. 31. No Warranties: NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOGUE OR ON THE DAY OF AUCTION. Descriptions are only being presented for the benefit of those bidders who have not had the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding and no description in the catalogue shall create any warranty. Color variations are to be expected and are not the basis for any return of any lot. Auctioneer is only selling the right, title, and interest of any lot that has been consigned to the Auctioneer by virtue of any consignment agreements. The Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability. 32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages. Up to the date that the auctioneer pays the consignor (45 days after the close of the auction sessions), and in the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver a lot, or if it is established that the lot lacks title, or some other transfer or condition issue is claimed, the sole remedy of the Bidder up to a date six months after the close of the auction sessions shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of any amount paid by the Buyer. After the consignor is paid by the auctioneer the sole remedy of the Buyer is against the consignor, and vice versa. 33. Statements are Opinions: In consideration of participation in the auction, and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases auctioneer, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, outside experts, and attorneys the (”RELEASEES”) from any and all claims, causes of action, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown that he/she/it may have with respect to the auction, the catalogue, the conduct of the auction, or the lots being purchased. By not complying with the terms of this Release, Bidder waives any and all claims against the RELEASEES. A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties. This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial. 35. Prohibited Activities: Any agreement between consignors and bidders to sell by private sale any lot, or to effect a non-sale of an item at auction is prohibited and auctioneer reserves the right to collect from the bidder the Buyer’s Premium. 36. Special Notice: Auctioneer has in compliance with Title 2.95 of the California Civil Code, Section 1812.600 posted with the California Secretary of State a bond. The auction is being conducted in compliance with Section 2338 of the California Commercial Code and Section 535 of the California Penal Code. 37. SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED MEMORABILIA: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY MEMORABILIA DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. 38.
