    Default Walt's passport for sale?

    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.

    Question

    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.

    It's not. It's a private collectables dealer.

    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.

    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.
