"Poster 6 - $crooge McDuck's greatest treasures"
This poster shows the greatest treasures from $crooge's great treasure hunts! Also included are some items that are more like "trophies" than actual valuable treasures.
Clockwise from top-left:
- The "ghost of Sir Quackly" threatens an early version of $crooge in his *very first* treasure hunt story - The Old Castle's Secret (DONALD DUCK FOUR COLOR #189)
- The world's only 1916 quarter, a coin $crooge made so rare that *he himself* was the only person rich enough to buy it from him! Whups! - The Sunken City (UNCLE $CROOGE #5)
- $crooge orbits his own solid gold planetoid in The Twenty-four Carat Moon (UNCLE $CROOGE #24)
- $crooge swims in the treasure bins of just one of the Seven Cities of Cibola while the booby-trapped Emerald Idol leers ominously, The Seven Cities of Cibola (UNCLE $CROOGE #7)
- The Grecian urn might not be worth so much except as a trophy, but it was very valuable to the Terries and Fermies, Land Beneath the Ground! (UNCLE $CROOGE #13)
- An old rock that turns base metal to solid gold - The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone (UNCLE $CROOGE #10)
- A treasure from the bottom of a flooded sacrificial pit in Central America, The Crown of the Mayas (UNCLE $CROOGE #44)
- The GOOSE EGG NUGGET!!! Back to the Klondike (FOUR COLOR #456 / UNCLE $CROOGE #2)
- Discovering some very famous diggings in The Mines of King Solomon (UNCLE $CROOGE #19)
- The Candy-Striped Ruby! The Status Seeker (UNCLE $CROOGE #41)
- Diving for the Pearls of the Kuku Maru protected by a Hindu idol, Deep Down Doings (UNCLE $CROOGE #37)
- Turning more metal into gold, this time with Vulcan's Hammer in Mythtic Mystery (UNCLE $CROOGE #34)
- Running from the Sleepless Dragon with Jason's Golden Fleece in The Golden Fleecing (UNCLE $CROOGE #12)
Central scene:
The central scene is combining two adventures that took place in frigid climes. $crooge wears the Crown of Genghis Khan - The Lost Crown of Genghis Khan (UNCLE $CROOGE #14) while sampling the taste of frozen Bombastium - A Cold Bargain (UNCLE $CROOGE #17). $crooge's penguin pal is drawn smaller than life-size, so that she doesn't dominate the scene.
D.U.C.K.-SPOILER:
Look in the Emerald Idol's headdress.
