For the 1955 one, put "DC+SOLO+31" in the INDUCKS "story code" search. On that page, you can also find a link to the later remake. If my recollection is correct and this image was indeed on a bubblegum card, it must be due to this cover appearance.

"Barks didn't have some...GeoX proclaimed :<br />"Barks didn't have somewhat questionable plotting on occasion--"The Sunken City," for instance"<br /><br />I asume you are refering to the all that coin chassing in the Atlantis story. True it takes a while before we get to the meat of that story but I think it was quite creative/clever - It would be more lazy in my opinion if Scrooge would got the last coin and then - ho, ho, ho - the next panel it is gone. Here they go for several pages that could been very well a Barks 10 pager. Plus is makes story less formuleic if they actualy spent some time in Duckburg before going on the jurney. Plus it just help Scrooge desperation grow as he goes true all this antics for nothing.<br /><br />So yhe, I find that part more then a filler.Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-17113038026674896132018-12-07T23:12:26.914-05:002018-12-07T23:12:26.914-05:00Interesting that such an insignificant story shoul...Interesting that such an insignificant story should live on like that, sort of.GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-41537403195741211202018-12-07T13:36:16.671-05:002018-12-07T13:36:16.671-05:00IIRC, that image of Donald decorated as a Christma...IIRC, that image of Donald decorated as a Christmas tree has been immortalized on a Swedish bubble gum trading card, so there's that.
