I have three of the original goofy characters from 1961. Where can I get information about the value of these? Is there are way I can do research by myself? Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

He' s an idiot. All he cares about are the stupid books. It's a case of a mediocre person in a fantastic position. BTW I've met him and visited the archives.

Hi Dave, It was nice finally meeting you face to face at the Disneyana Convention. It was a nice surprise when you told me you were reading my novel HIDDEN MICKEY: Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales! and really enjoying it. I really appreciate all the help you gave me when I was doing my research to be sure all the historical facts in the novel were accurate.
