You can look it up at the catalog of Mile High Comics under
http://www.milehighcomics.de. Their prices are a little bit high
(actually over Overstreet price guide, I believe) but they have an
excellent selection and great service - and many comics are on special
sale.
I don't know how easy Gladstones/Disneys are availble from normal
comic stores but if your friend gets some I believe prices will be
below those given on the Mile High site.

Here are the series you asked for:

If it's not really a ten pager, but a fragment of ten pages from a longer
story, and Goofy is the main hero, maybe it's a never published part of the
Goofy Classics series (Goofy as Beethoven, Columbus, etc.)?
The series was a flop saleswise (at least in Germany), that might explain
why the story maybe never was published - at least I couldn't find anything,
entering "Wright" into the COA keyword search. ;-)

Frank

There is no "set" price for comics of this era.
Reprints of bad art are cheaper than new stories by Rosa or Barks reprints.
Dell/Gold Key/ Whitman did the comics into the 1980's and
Gladstone in the mid 80's till they stopped production in the late 1990's.
Some of the scarce Whitman reprints are expensive due to very small print
runs.
Send me a list of what you are looking for and I will give you a list of what
I have and at a reasonable price.
If you need a reference on me, write Don Rosa!

Cord (and Steven):

The Dells did have much higher print runs overall than Gladstones, but they
were also published, overall, in a much different consumer environment. In
the 1940s, 1950s, and most of the 1960s comics were bought, read, then
passed along or tossed aside, much like newspapers (and the classic scenario
of the kid collecting comics only to have them thrown out by a parent was
only too true, and prevalent ? it happened to me. Twice!). While hundreds of
thousands, even millions, of copies were printed, relatively few copies
survived in that climate, and very few of those in anything near to mint
condition.

Gladstone was a collector oriented publisher, though in our initial license
period we were still focused on getting Disney comics out to the general
marketplace. That's when we did have print runs somewhere around 120,000,
and the copies went out to the newsstand as well as the collector oriented
direct market (which didn't exist in Dell's day - or Gold Key's heyday, for
that matter). That direct market, however, assured that a far higher
percentage of Gladstone's print runs were preserved compared to Dell's. And
that's pretty much true of all lines of comics that managed to carry on
through all those decades (though, as with the Disney's, not always with the
same publishers).

By simple count of copies per issue, have more Gladstones been preserved
than Dells? Dunno, but I suspect so. The print runs for our last newsstand
books were down to below 60,000, and by the end Gladstone was printing only
as many copies of each issue of Uncle Scrooge and Walt Disney's Comics and
Stories as would fill the orders from the direct market. The print runs of
these last issues probably have the highest rates of preservation of any
Disney comics ever.

I guess this isn't really that strange. Rosa's stories are special, and the
publishers don't want to use these in ordinary publications, such as those you
mentioned. I guess that they are saving these stories for either reprint in the
weekly 'Donald Duck' as this boosts sales, or maybe they are planning a special
publication in the future, collecting Rosa-stories. The Rosa-stories are
treasures that the publishers won't use just anywhere.
