lot #22 Celebration Mickey
I haven’t quite made up my mind on this one. This was either the ultimate collectable - or - the ultimate joke about collecting. With a "portion" of the proceeds going to charity it’s a pity I’m not the only one who couldn’t decide.

lot #23 Disneyland Poster Display
Own a piece of Disneyland? Cool! Remember when you’d go to the park and look at the kiosks to see if the posters had changed? Someone will have a very cool display. It’s the availability of pieces like this one that give the ODC’s auction such clout among the serious collectors.

lot #26 "A Disney Family Reunion" Large Glass Sculpture
Yet another one of a kind piece, and another sculpture - but with a twist - it’s etched glass - and it’s massive. Created by Robert Gunther especially for the 2001 Official Disneyana Convention in celebration of the theme "A Disney Family Reunion."

lot #27 Haunted Mansion - Pre-Production Painting/Original 1964 Disneyland Record
An appropriate lot - and a cool one. With the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay around the corner it was fun to see a very unique Haunted Mansion item. Any Mansion fan would love to be able to add the original acrylic painting used as cover art for an LP titled "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House," released on Disneyland Records (number DQ-1257) in May 1964 to their collection.

lot #28 Dopey Tile Jewelry Box
Another variation on the screened tiles available for bid, and another one-of-a-kind piece. This Ollie Johnston animated sequence of Dopey - hand signed - was fashioned into a large jewelry box, which was handcrafted for White Horse Studio by Tilley Wood Creations. At that price, I can’t imagine what I’d use it for - but it’s very cool.

lot #30 Goofy, Mickey Mouse, and Peg Leg Pete as Pirates
This was a very cute set of three one-of-a-kind figures from sculptor David Kracov. Each of the three figures was hand-sculpted from more than 60 distinct pieces of colored polymer clay. The time and attention to detail made this lot collectable - the subject, theme and the artist just added to the collectability.
