All Mickey Mouse Four Color appearances feel like key issues, but with Carl Barks doing some of the artwork, this issue has special collector appeal. As far as I can tell it was the only Mickey Mouse Four Color with involvement from Carl Barks. It’s also one of the most reprinted books I have seen:

• in Mickey Mouse in Color (book) (Another Rainbow, 1988 series) #1 (June 1997)
• in Mikke Mus 60 år 1928-1988 (Hjemmet, 1988 series) #[nn] ([november] 1988)
which is reprinted
o in Carl Barks 100 år - jubileumshefte (Egmont Serieforlaget, 2001 series) #[nn] ([april] 2001)
• in Walt Disney's Mickey and Donald (Gladstone, 1988 series) #17 (March 1990)
• in The Carl Barks Library (Another Rainbow, 1983 series) #6 (May 1990)
• in Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures in Color (Gladstone, 1994 series) #5 (May 1994)
which is reprinted
o in Barks Library Special - Donald Duck (Egmont Ehapa, 1994 series) #5 (1995)
• in Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse and Uncle Scrooge - Free Comic Book Day (Gemstone, 2004 series) #[nn] (June 2004)
Given its high guide value (9.2=2400) the census is a bit light though there is a single 9.6 leading the census. This copy is 6th best of the fifteen graded to date. 12/12 I originally bought this un graded from Heritage Auctions as a F-.
