This is the first signed Disney Xmas card to appear on the market

Disney Christmas card jingles all the way to $14k

Bearing his most iconic creation, Mickey Mouse, Disney's signature brought five figures

A rare 1932 Mickey Mouse Christmas card signed by his creator Walt Disney has sold at auction.

The card features the vintage versions of Mickey and his girlfriend Minnie Mouse, with a handwritten inscription to Chicago native Henry Scherping.

Disney is known to have sent out dozens of these Christmas cards - but this is the first and only one to surface on the collectibles market, according to RR Auction's Bobby Livingston.

What's more, it was written just a month after Disney received his first Oscar in 1932 for his creation of the world's number one celebrity mouse.

Sold at RR Auction, the historic card realised a final hammer price of $13,987.
