Man, we almost miss the news sometimes!

A casual saunter through some eBay categories I check now and then just turned up an auction ending in less than eight hours: Jerry Weist is auctioning some original "Request for Payment" slips from Uncle Scrooge creator Carl Barks. They take us behind the scenes of Golden Age comics creation -- including the creation of Uncle Scrooge, since one of those vouchers is for the first story in which Scrooge appeared.

Check it out!

P.S. And it sold for $2,557!
