Hake's Americana & Collectibles set a record for the sale of their first Disney animation model sheet; the Donald Duck 9.5 x 12"model sheet sold for $75,000. It is the first known appearance of Donald Duck, made in advance of 1934's "The Wise Little Hen." The July, 2008 sale has yet to be topped, though the appreciation of "Disneyana" has barely diminished in the convening years. The economy, however, has not been as kind.
