Offered here is an absolutely incredible find! Truly a OOAK opportunity that will never come around again! Who ever wins this, it will fall off the face of the planet!

This is the only #1 Disneyland ticket from an "official run of tickets", from the earliest days of the park in private hands! Do not confuse this with #1's that are, or were part of a tour or group ticket book. In those, the book itself has a number. The tickets inside are merely #1 of 10, 20, etc. This is the genuine #000001 of an entire ticket run.

This unused/uncashed ticket is #000001 of the very scarce special comp tickets they gave to investors only during a brief promotion from January to June of 1957. Very few of this type ticket were even printed. Finding another ticket of this type, of any number, in any condition is unheard of!

I have partially hidden the stub portion for obvious reasons to prevent forgeries, but this ticket remains solidly intact, and in absolute mint condition. There is some calligraphy on the front that says To "Barbara Lynne" From "Your Father". I would sure like to know who "Your Father" was, because they were obviously an artist, and obviously held a distinguished position within Disney to even be able to get this ticket in the first place.

Even as such, Disney always retained the first few tickets of each run for their archives, and to check for print flaws. That is the only reason why this is not within their archives today. On the first 3 tickets printed of this type, the Globe Ticket Co plate was not installed, or did not engage in the printer. I know for a fact that it was the first 3 tickets because #4 is the earliest ticket of this type currently in Disney archives. Info you can research yourself, but I warn you, it was not easy.

The rarest, and most unique Disneyland ticket in private hands! Arguably the coolest unused ticket in existence! Miss this, and another does not exist to even come around.

The other 2 cashed stubs [Also quite rare] are included merely for provenance. One is a far more common in comparison park employee comp version [Signified by the added A in the #] #A033,552, and was cashed June 8th 1957. The other is a red paid adult all access pass #001576 cashed February 12th, 1957. I believe this type was used since the grand opening, up to 1960 or 61, but at $6.00 a pop, few of these were sold in those early days. $6.00 was a lot of money in 1957.

All 3 tickets come with the 1954 printed book the #1 ticket was found stored in. It is a hard cover book that pulls out of it's own hardcover sleeve. This ticket has rarely even seen the light of day over the past 55 years. It remains in pristine condition with colors as vibrant as the day it was printed.

Both Disney Archives, and the owner of the main printing competitor to Globe Ticket company back in the 50's have both authenticated this ticket through visual, comparison to other known examples, and printing techniques not used for decades.

The final bit of irrefutable evidence that this was indeed the very first ticket out of the printer is the roller mark which unfortunately can only be seen with the naked eye. How the printers worked back then was the ticket behind pushed the ticket in front out. Subsequent tickets would show the roller mark all the way across, if at all. The roller mark on this ticket only goes half way across.
