A portion of The Joel Magee Disneyland Collection – the largest individually-owned Disney parks collection in the world – hits the auction block, hosted by Van Eaton Galleries on July 17, 2023, coinciding with Disneyland’s 68th birthday. Approximately 1,500 pieces from the more than 6,000 piece collection are included in the auction, which was amassed over a 30 year period.

The Joel Magee Disneyland Collection auction takes place July 17-19, 2023, with in-person, online, phone, and absentee bidding options available.

Leading up to the auction, the 1,500 items up for sale will be exhibited at the Burbank Town Center Mall, a fitting location as it was the spot where Disney planned to build Disney-MGM Studios. The public exhibition features rare attraction artifacts, costumes, props, souvenirs, tickets, signage, cast member items, and the world’s largest collection of Disneyland posters all together for the first time.

The free Joel Magee Disneyland Collection public exhibition is open 11am – 7pm through July 16, 2023, at Burbank Town Center Mall, in Burbank, California.

Joel ‘The Toy Scout’ Magee began collecting at age 13 when he purchased a collectible lunchbox at a flea market. Since then, he has accumulated one of the world’s most impressive collections of toys and Disneyana.
