Even Michael Jackson's millions couldn't buy Disney desk

What price decades of Disney treasure? Who knows, because not even one of its top historians can put a dollar value on memorabilia from the Magic Kingdom. Dave Smith, who started the Walt Disney Archives in 1970, says they have millions of historic Disney items in warehouses, many of which still come in handy.
"Disney is a company that reuses its past all the time," said Smith, who is visiting Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time. "We still need information about old projects to do new ones."

Among the items he brought with him are the first Disney publication in Hong Kong - a 101 Dalmatians comic book - and drawings by Walt Disney when he was a teenager.mSmith says once it's in the archives it can't be sold.

The late King of Pop Michael Jackson even tried to buy the company founder's old desk.
"I think a million dollars was mentioned," he said. "But no, we are like a museum - we don't sell."
