That was a gold mine.
[108:39-109:04]
If, and you could uh, if you don't want to answer that just take- Yeah, actually, uh, you know, what really kind of got me into treasure hunting, and this is years and years a- years ago. Um, uh, I used to, uh, and I still am, a Disney enthusiast. Uh, and I love, you know, Disney animation art. And I really didn't know that much about it, I just did a lot of research on it, and this is before my first master's degree, I believe.
[109:04-109:32]
But, uh, uh, uh, I really wanted to do some research on Disney, so I started. And, you know, I learned about animation cells, and I learned about how, you know, these cells that were produced from Disney, from the movies like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, that some of these cells were worth a lot of money. And so I'm like- Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That, that I'm in California, I was in Fresno at the time, and, uh, I said, "You know, I'm gonna start searching." And I did.
[109:32-110:04]
And I didn't have a computer. I didn't You know, uh, uh, at the time, this is the early '90s, I, I, I'm not even sure the internet was out yet. And so I did a lot of ground research calling, looking up on classifieds, things like that. I found 2 snow white original Courvoisier set-ups, which Courvoisier was a, was, uh, an artist in San Francisco that would, you know, uh, uh, gain art and collect it and then sell it in San Francisco. And so he- And so you see, I thought Courvoisier was some kind of a cognac.
[110:04-110:30]
I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah But, uh, he, listen, he, he, he took several of these really prime cells and sold them for a 100 bucks. He put a, a gold seal on the back and, you know, 100 bucks. I found 2 of those cells in a barn garage sale in Tulare, California, in 1992, I think, '93. That was a gold mine.
[110:30-110:34]
I was able to sell those at auction for $30,000.
