What's the deal with this person selling Walt Disney's passport on Ebay? Anyone heard anything about this? I found the article on TMZ.

I have a hard time believing that this is legal, but I guess it is obviously expired by forty years or so. I didn't look at the page on eBay very closely, but it might be Disney who is selling it; they have done such things in the past (such as auctioning off the head cabin of a Mark IV monorail that was used at WDW) and usually donating the money to charity.

I don't understand your question. It's a collectables dealer selling his passport.

It's signed by Walt so it has tremendous value, as evidenced by the fact that the current bid is like $3,600.

If I had the money I would buy it. I wonder how they came across his passport anyway.

I would too. Sadly, my bank account does not allow for purchasing "Walt Disney's Passport." haha.

I actually have a lifelong ambition to some day own an autograph from Walt, Roy, and each of the Nine Old Men.

Thus far I have one. :(

I am a few steps closer than you right now but Roy is a tough autograph to come by. I do have Roy Jr ;) I got a few of the nine old men and the crown Jewel of my Collection is Walt :thumbsup:

What's sad is that I used to have Ollie Johnston's and Frank Thomas on a book I bought on eBay.

I didn't realize what I had at the time and I sold it!!

ARGH!!

There maybe some legality involved with selling a passport.
