Are you (or someone you know) a Disney fanatic? If so, this might be the auction of your dreams.
Van Eaton Galleries of Studio City will open a private Disney collection up to bidders beginning July 17.
Available items include a wide array of memorabilia ranging from cars used for theme park rides, original concept art, employee costumes, and even trash cans from the Disney grounds. Pretty much anything you can associate with the wonderful world of Disney parks will be up for bid.
The auction will take place at the Burbank Town Center Mall (201 E. Magnolia Blvd., Burbank, CA 91502). Bidders can participate in the auction online, by phone, in person, or through an absentee bidding system.
Private collector Joel Magee spent 30 years assembling 1,500 items of memorabilia that fill a 30,000-square-foot space.
Prices for the items start at as low as $50 and others could reach more than $50,000.
