Comic Art
Between 1971 and 1975, Carl Barks completed a series of eight paintings based on his classic cover to 1952's Four Color No. 386. One of the most important Disney comics, the issue boasts the first Uncle Scrooge solo story and Scrooge's first cover appearance. This piece, produced in 1971, is the fourth of the series and one of the brightest and most vibrant. The image features grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie alongside Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge.

Amateur photographer Paul Goresh captured this image of John Lennon signing a copy of Double Fantasy for Mark David Chapman just hours before Chapman murdered Lennon outside his residence at The Dakota on New York City's Upper West Side on December 8, 1980. This original photograph, signed and dated by Goresh, was developed the next day by the New York Daily News and is the only known photo to show Lennon and his assassin.

Only one example of the 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is legal to own, making the 1932 Saint-Gaudens Twenty the final collectible issue of the extremely popular series. Despite a substantial reported mintage of more than 1.1 million pieces, nearly all were held in government vaults and later melted following the 1933 Gold Recall. The surviving population is estimated at just 95 pieces. The offered example is one of only 33 graded in 64 (four in 64+), with only 43 finer.
