Walt Disney's Passport on Ebay...

[joanna71985]

I hope this is purchased by the right people and goes to a place where it can be appreciated by everyone.

 

[wdwishes2005]

I guarantee that someone at Disney is going to be placing the highest bid on the passport just to get it back into disney hands. It would be a perfect exhibition piece for One man's dream

I could see that happening

 

[tink rules]

I wonder if they know it's up for auction... You wonder if who ever it is already tried to sell it to Disney and didn't get what they were asking for it...

 

[joanna71985]

I could see that happening

I sure hope so.

Hopefully good ole Dave Smith will come through and get it for the Archives.

 

[unkadug]

Wow how tempting!

I would love to know the history, how did the person selling this, get it? How did it leave the family in the first place?

Very good question, perhaps stolen ?

The seller has many rare things for sale at premium. Anna Nicole journals and Texas ID, pants and jewelry worn by Evis, docoments signed by Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, etc. Sheesh.

Why the sarcasm?

 

[bgraham34]

That is pretty wild. I know a friend who collects like this from celebrities. My buddy has former Presidents credit cards and such.

 

[Teenchy]

Why the sarcasm?

No sarcasm in my question...just wondering how the person acquired it, not saying they came into possession of it nefariously.(Spelling?)

 

[isitingood]

It hasn't started yet. That WILL be the starting bid.

You are not counting the absentee bids

 

[TinkerBell9988]

Wow. I think this should be in the Walt Disney Archives. Oh well. It makes for a nice piece of Disney history.

I am either a bad Disney fan or not very starstruck overall. I think it is sort of cool but :shrug: I don't really get it :lol:

My uncle and my in-laws would all disown me if they heard that. :lookaroun

Big time collectors, every one of them.

 

[JikoMarie]

It seems as though the auction has been removed.

 

[WDW Monorail]

It seems as though the auction has been removed.

Most likely because Disney offered privately on the object since they wish to keep it in the company.

 

[tink rules]

I certainly hope that is the case - I would like to see it kept with the archives so perhaps they can put it on display in the future.

 

[SallyShine]

Any way to find out?

 

[unkadug]

I still think it was obtained illegally, hence the removal from Ebay.

Not saying that the seller did anything wrong, but whoever took it to the seller may have. :lookaroun

 

[ImaYoyo]

by contacting Dave Smith.

 

[unkadug]

who's Dave Smitjh and why do I want to contact him?

 

[ImaYoyo]

who's Dave Smitjh and why do I want to contact him?

He works with the Disney Archives, and if someone in the company secured the item, he would know.

Perhaps Elf did a midnight raid and liberated it.
