Check this one out folks ...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lot-of-8-Super-8-Sound-Walt-Disney-Live-Action-Films-Cartooons-/172372956373?hash=item28223a94d5:g:LGIAAOSw2xRYSZFv

Now, all the films in that collection that I would have wanted I already have, and there's not enuf to make me want it otherwise, but check out those "booklets" for Mickey's 50th, (as well as that "Birthday celebration" thingy. I've never seen that stuff, the round buttons either, which looks like it was something that was marketed at a specific time.

Now, the auction is rather pricey to be sure, but at least, whoever who should choose to take on the challenge, has a better than half chance that the prints will be on low fade film stock as, this auction is in the U.K. and while not every single print was on low fade in the UK (speaking of "Disney's), most of them were.

Here's the link from the US Ebay site. Odd that it's listed as Collectible Disneyana.

The "extras" are cool but I think we'd all agree this is way overpriced unless the films are mint and unfaded.
