Description

Walt Disney Signed $650 Check for Walt Disney Special Account (Walt Disney, 1952). Rare, highly collectible Walt Disney signed check dated May 23, 1952, in the amount of $650, made payable to the Walt Disney Special Account and boldly signed "Walter E. Disney." Drawn on Bank of America's Toluca Lake Branch, this check carries a crisp endorsement on the reverse by longtime secretary Dolores Vought, reading "For deposit - Walt Disney Special Acc." Based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI data, the purchasing power of $650 in 2020 is about $813.66. Though little is known about the Special Account, researchers believe it functioned as an internal fund Walt used to centralize personal or semi-personal disbursements-transferring sums in, then paying allowances or incidental expenses, some historically noted as going to Lillian or for small cash. The check showcases Walt's flowing, instantly recognizable autograph, PSA certified and presented in a protective sleeve. Much has been written about his signature: Ub Iwerks recalled Walt practicing it at an artist's table, and his daughter noted he often began the loopy flourish before the pen touched paper. In Very Good condition. A real prize for collectors not to be missed!
