* WritersCannotDoMath: So how old is Blackheart Beagle supposed to be? He was already an experienced river pirate in 1880 with his three sons as his lackeys (who themselves were adults or at the very least in their late teens) when they first tussled with a 13-year-old Scrooge. Even assuming that Blackheart was a [[TeenPregnancy a very young dad]] and in his early 30s in 1880-1882, that would still mean he was pushing 100 years old when he first reunited with the 80-year-old Scrooge in 1947, yet he's just as spry and active as Scrooge himself (without context, you'd think they were the same age), and the same is true during Blackheart's comeback in ''ComicBook/ALittleSomethingSpecial''.

* EndOfAnEra: An unfortunate recurring theme of Scrooge's life; by the time he travelled to America in 1891 to seek his fortune, the Frontier Era was drawing to a close, and most of the businesses that had thrived in those early days went with it. The transcontinental railroad made the river boats obsolete, the mid-western grasslands were being divided up into homesteads and put the iconic cowboys out of work, the great mineral rushes were all but over, and the U.S was slowly changing from a wild, untamed land into an industrial nation, with Scrooge seemingly always one step behind.

* GlassesOfAging: Scrooge starts wearing his distinctive glasses when he moved to Duckburg, where he would eventually build his business empire, which also marks the beginning of his gradual descent to greed and villainy. He actually used glasses for reading as early as his mid-20's, due to the toll prospecting and cattle ranching had begun to take on his body, but this is only shown in one panel of ''The New Laird of Castle [=McDuck=]'', and only began wearing them permanently when he moved to Duckburg.
