Here's a look at the card design of the other 3 Disney Treasures series that also featured sketches. These are from the collection, assuming they still have it, of the person I sold the Series 3 Dumbo (by Anna Lee) to about 9 years ago for $1,000



Their Ariel by Lisa Temming is from Series 2 and appears to be a companion card to an unseen Prince Eric. They were looking for it, but it was going to be tough to find we agreed. (Most of Temming's other sketches, but not the Prince Eric, are shown on the previous page).

Their Tinkerbell (by Olga Totieva) is from Holiday Treasures.

I had literally the same subject, Tinkerbell, on the only Holiday Treasures sketch I ever had, and the only sketch beside the Dumbo I ever found in a pack, after opening A LOT of it. That Tinkerbell I had, by coincidence, was drawn by Dorota Kotarba-Mendes, the same artist who drew the Series 1 Mickey Mouse that has just surfaced. I sold that for $800 in 2006. I got the redemption card literally a month before it was to expire and redeemed just in time. That Tinkerbell was very nicely detailed, and in color. I think, it too, would be worth a lot more now, nearly two decades down the line.

I wonder if that Mickey was added to the collection I showed above to complete their set of one from each series, or if they'd already accomplished that sometime during the last nine years.

Just looking on ebay and on Oct 16 a box of The Apprentice cards with an asking price of $ 995.00 (!!!) sold. Not sure if it went for that price, or something less. IMHO, that was quite high considering that the odds of finding the most desirable chase cards are low.

According to 130Point it sold for that and another went for $1499

To me, that's a big gamble to spend $ 1000-1500 on a sealed box. Odds are you will get an auto of one of the Apprentice contestants, which sellers on ebay can't even get $ 5 for.

The only way it's worth it is if you somehow pull one of President Trump's 2 autos from the packs, but the odds are long on that.

Back in 2005 you could buy both of his autos for a mere $ 50 total. Those days are long gone.

I would bet these are people collecting the sealed boxes -- it doesn't seem to make sense to open them at that price.

It could be just a Trump fan giddy from the election win and one who didn't care how much it cost.

Did anyone here get into that set? Any case buyers?

I collected most of the autographs over the years -- they were all quite cheap at one point.

I haven't seen one of these pop up in a while. I had a bid in much lower as the sketch seems a bit faded, but was really surprised to see it end at $621. 256708177455

I'm sure I have a couple of Promo cards. Other than the Trump sig I didn't find anything about the show or set I was interested in collecting. I never did get around to picking up his auto.

A Donald Trump Apprentice auto sold on ebay on Oct 27 for $ 1475.00.

Another one had an asking price of $ 1999.00 and someone snagged it by making a Best Offer
