1,500 Disneyland Collectibles Go Up For Auction, Such As A Dumbo Trash Bin

(BURBANK, Calif.) — Fans who think that Disneyland is the happiest place on the planet will soon be able to take home more than just a souvenir.

A dedicated collector has brought Disney magic to a sprawling 30,000-square-foot (2,800-square-meter) building in Burbank, California, where fans can hear birds chirping in the Enchanted Tiki Room section and giggle at animated ghosts from the Haunted Mansion ride while previewing more than 1,500 items up for auction later this month.

Joel Magee has spent the last 30 years amassing a collection of over 6,000 objects, including costumes, rare posters, and life-size vehicles from rides like Dumbo and Peter Pan, and he’s finally ready to share part of it with the public.

“I’m one of those guys who believes in going big or home.” And if you don’t have the biggest, it ain’t the finest,” Magee told The Associated Press in a recent interview as crowds milled around the exhibit. Magee’s is the world’s largest privately held Disneyland/Disney Park collection.

“It’s quite thrilling. “This is the first time I’ve had all of my belongings in the same room at the same time,” he explained.

In the collectibles field, Magee is known as “the toy scout,” he has acquired a massive collection of toys and Disney things. He says he grew up watching “The Wonderful World of Disney” on TV every week, but he had never been to the park and had never considered collecting until he encountered a man selling Disneyland artifacts at a toy exhibition and became hooked.

“I couldn’t afford much at the time.” “I bought a few pieces, but that’s where it all started,” Magee explained. “In my travels as ‘the toy scout,’ I meet people all over the country, and they’ve just been bringing me all their stuff for the last 25 years, and here it is today.”

Fans who think Disneyland is the happiest place on the planet will soon be able to take home more than just a souvenir.

The artifacts for sale range in size from a trading card to a 1917 Model T moving van from Disneyland’s original Main Street, which Magee claims Walt Disney designed himself.

Van Eaton Galleries, which is hosting the auction, is co-owned by Mike Van Eaton. He says the most sought-after pieces are those from the Haunted Mansion attraction, such as original stretch paintings from the elevator in the famed ride and a “doom buggy” — the vehicle passengers ride in.

“Joel also has one of the most incredible collections of Disney attraction posters in the world.” He owns every single attraction poster in the park. And those will do extremely well as well,” Van Eaton said.

There are goods for every budget, with some starting at $50 and most going much higher.

“Some of these items, such as the Dumbo ride vehicle, could fetch between $200,000 and $300,000.” We have trash cans from the park that may get $5,000 or $6,000 and posters that could fetch $50,000 to $60,000.

Magee says picking favorites from such a big collection is difficult, but he’s particularly fond of the static objects he’s brought to life.

“The Tiki birds, oh my goodness, were junk when we got them!” “They were worn out, with pieces missing,” Magee explained. “Some of my good friends who do a lot of work… in that field brought them all back to life better than you could ever imagine.” And… when people look at that, you can feel the enchantment in their eyes.”

The show is on display at the Burbank Town Centre Mall until July 16. The auction will take place from July 17 through July 19.

WASHINGTON – On Monday, the Supreme Court dismissed Elon Musk’s appeal about a deal with securities authorities. The settlement mandates that Elon obtain prior approval for some tweets related to Tesla, the electric vehicle firm he heads.

Supreme Court Rejects Musk Appeal Over Tweets That Must Be Approved By Tesla

The justices refrained from making any comments and upheld the lower court’s findings against Musk. Elon said that the requirement constitutes a “prior restraint” on his expression, which he believes violates the First Amendment.

The case arises from tweets Musk sent in 2018, in which he asserted that he had obtained the necessary funds to privatize Tesla. The tweets significantly increased the company’s stock price and prompted a temporary suspension of trading.

Supreme Court Rejects Musk Appeal Over Tweets That Must Be Approved By Tesla

As part of the agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was mandated that his tweets must receive prior approval from a legal representative at Tesla. Additionally, it demanded that Elon and Tesla be subjected to monetary penalties for the tweets in which Elon claimed to have “secured funding” to privatize Tesla for $420 per share.

Tesla still needs to obtain the necessary capital to continue to be a publicly-traded company.

The SEC’s initial enforcement action against Elon claimed that his tweets on the privatization of the company violated antifraud provisions of securities laws.

In 2022, Elon purchased Twitter.

The event will be held in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Lionel Messi netted two goals, captivating a record-breaking crowd of New England Revolution supporters, and propelled Inter Miami CF to a resounding 4-1 triumph on Saturday evening.

Lionel Messi Gets 2 Goals In Front Of Record New England Crowd As Miami Beats Revolution 4-1

Indeed, he also achieved a minor historical milestone. Miami said on social network X that he holds the distinction of becoming the inaugural player in MLS history to contribute 16 goals in the first seven games of a season.

He has been doing it consistently throughout his entire life. “We anticipate this behavior from him,” stated teammate Benjamin Cremaschi, who successfully scored the third goal following Messi’s blocked shot. He effortlessly demonstrates proficiency.” We are pleased to have him on our team. Whenever he is presented with a chance, he seizes it.

The attendance surpassed the previous record of 61,316, set when the LA Galaxy defeated the Revolution in the 2002 MLS championship.

During the first half, he positioned himself a short distance inside the penalty area and successfully scored with a left-footed kick, resulting in a 1-1 tie in the 32nd minute.

“In the first half, following our goal, I believed that we had effectively contained them,” stated Caleb Porter, the coach of New England. “They were not receiving ample opportunities, nor were they being granted sufficient time and freedom to execute their actions.” Messi then demonstrated his typical skill and ability by identifying a weakness or vulnerability.

Amidst a match between the top-ranked Miami team in the Eastern Conference and the bottom-ranked Revolution team, the 36-year-old who won the 2022 World Cup scored a goal, resounding cheers reverberating throughout the bleachers.

Cremaschi and Luis Suarez scored goals toward the end of the match for Miami. Messi was attributed with an assist on Suarez’s goal.

In the opening minute, the Revolution took a 1-0 lead as Tomas Chancalay skillfully evaded a defender and executed a shot over the charging netminder, Drake Callender.

Despite the presence of the Celtics and Bruins, both local winter professional teams are now competing in the playoffs. Much of the focus in the sports world this week was around Messi’s arrival.

Hundreds of fans, primarily children, donning the pink Miami Messi shirt, entered the stadium approximately 90 minutes before the match.

Once the stadium was filled, they were readily seen amidst the crowd.

Among the items, a few of the Messi No. 10 Argentina shirts, which featured white and blue stripes, were intermingled among the items.

“I am filled with great enthusiasm,” expressed Stacy Mills, a 31-year-old itinerant healthcare professional from East Tennessee, who was donning one of the Argentina jerseys featuring Messi.” “I have been a follower of his career since playing with Barcelona.”

Her buddy, Caleadia Jessup, 53, a travel nurse from Fayetteville, North Carolina, was equally proud to display her Messi Argentina jersey.

Many children had the opportunity to witness a renowned soccer player at the previous residence of Tom Brady, who is widely regarded as the greatest of all time in the NFL. Brady achieved the impressive feat of winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.

“I have been engaged in playing since my early years.” “The Miami star is my favorite player,” stated Cameron Howell, a 14-year-old from Halifax, Massachusetts.
