1931 Wills Tobacco Disney Mickey Mouse

I was wondering if someone could tell me how often one of these cards pops up. My wife and I recently began collecting some Mickey Mouse things and this card attracted me. I was one of the higher underbidders, but got cold feet bidding any higher due to my absolute ignorance on the subject. My background is antique brewery advertising and pre-1920 Sox memorabilia.

Do these cards become available every now and then? Would love to get one in nice condition. Thanks for any help you can give.

Here's the link:

Greg,
These are somewhat common. That huge price was due to the highest graded. They can be had in the 50 dollar range for a nice ex-mt. The link below is for a decent complete set that went unsold for under 80.00. Perhaps you could ask the seller to relist as a buy it now. Good luck!

Richard,

Thank you so much for the reply. That is great information to know. I've collected antique brewery advertising for over thirty years and know that old things age, so I never really quite understood the obsession with card grading.

Thanks again!

Greg

Dear Richard and Mark,

Thank you for your advice. I was able to win the lot Richard pointed me to earlier this week as it went back on ebay with a different, and very nice, seller (The fellow who originally owned the lot was great as well in my communications with him). I truly appreciate your time in helping me out. Was able to get the entire set of these cards to go along with the one card I was really looking for without the high end price.

Thanks again!

Greg
