I have come across a shirt with a Mickey Mouse design on the front and at the bottom is a copyright date of 1920, I don't think the shirt is that old, but the design may be. Is there anyplace I can check out the value of this design? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Fluffy
Sorry for the misspelling in the subject! My oops!!

That's a little odd because Disney is notorious for not putting copyright dates on most of their merchandise. Without seeing the shirt, my guess is that it's a recent issue, since the vintage pie-eyed Mickey has been a very popular design for much Mickey merchandise since the 1970s, and especially with the Disney Store boom of the past decade. I sold a bundle of retro-Mickey stuff last Christmas season and it brought really nice prices.
For some reason I can't get to this site at the moment, but here's a decent website that illustrates the evolution of Mickey over the years:
