Disney at garage sales. How many of us love Micky Mouse? I love Micky Mouse. Guess what? This is not an antique. This I could buy at my supermarket last year. This is not worth anything. It is a garage sale loser. You think that Disney items, gotta buy it because everybody loves Micky Mouse, it's worth a lot of money because it's from Walt Disney. Wrong. This is a cheesy bobble head. Now there are some older Disney items and you can tell because it will say Walt Disney productions on the back. That's the older stuff. Walt Disney Company, skip it. So remember, if it's made in China, it may look old but it's new, a reproduction, anytime you see Disney things that look old and fun but are made in China, you could buy them at your supermarket. Don't do it.
