Mickey Mouse Plush - 1970/80s

[cgwissing]

All,
I have this Disney plush toy that is about 3ft tall originally purchased from Disney CA over 40yrs ago by my wife's grandfather. She put it in a tote for years and it still has the original tag on the ear and looks to be in near mint condition. There is currently an Ebay auction listing for >11k for this identical plush (I can't post due to it being flagged for spam). Can you all tell me if this plush is worth this range of $. Thanks all.

Oh, I have that Mickey! He is a large one!

I would look on the internet for toy collector and Disney collectible groups and start there. If looking at auction sites, look at what the item sold for, not what the item was listed for. Anything you sell is only worth what someone is willing to pay but you don’t want to offer him up for less than he is worth. Good luck!

Hi Cgwissing,
Disney Parks used to sell large versions of plush characters in the 80's and 90's and your wife's plush Mickey Mouse is part of that series. Judging by the tag your wife's plush Mickey Mouse was released in 1991 to honor Disneyland's anniversary but The Disney Catalog used to also sell these large Disney character plushies too. And there is also a Minnie Mouse and a large Donald Duck in that set too. I used to see these large character plushies when I would visit Disneyland and a lot of collectors passed on them because of the high price
Hope this info is helpful to you
