With nearly three decades at the heart of the Walt Disney Company (1995 - 2024), the private collection introduced here features animation projects representing many of the artists, animators and illustrators of the historic Walt Disney Animation Studios. The scope of projects supported by this talented artist and designer have included:
Saturday’s Toys and Collectibles was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 16,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers): "Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
We are glad to combine shipping for multiple purchases in order to reduce costs whenever possible. Simply let us know before processing payment for the items selected and we'll be glad to revise and forward a final invoice to reflect the combined shipping price.
This usually works most effectively when combining flat paper items (postcards, newsletters, ephemera, etc.) but we'll do our best to make any combined purchase provide your best value for shipping.
Customer dissatisfaction with buyer fees for the eBay International Shipping program has led us to cease all international shipments for the foreseeable future. eBay has opted to support international buyers who leave false feedback about sellers charging excessive fees for the eBay International Shipping program (formerly known as the eBay Global Shipping program). eBay is well aware that sellers have nothing to do with setting prices for their international shipping program and that the prices are 100% controlled only by eBay. In that light, we have opted out of the program and can no long participate.
We are now accepting select consignments of interest to our network of domestic and international collectors. We offer a sliding scale of consignment proceeds that are based on the sale price of each item, with each sale earning consignors 50% to 70% of the net sales price. We handle all of the details of each transaction (listing descriptions, photos, sales tracking, shipping, insurance, etc.). Please contact us through the eBay Messaging system for more information.
