Description

Please remember that as a seller, my sales costs also include packaging tape, printer ink, printer paper, shipping supplies, sales tracking and auction listing tools, not to mention the 10-14% that eBay and Paypal take off the top for fees and commissions. All of these costs are included in what you are paying.
Our images are made using a scanner at very high resolution, exposing many minor flaws that are NOT visible to the human eye. On rare occasions, especially with pins that have gold and silver which may not scan well, I will use actual photographs.

Description: This rare pin is exclusive to Cast Members whose responsibility it is to maintain and repair the Autopia vehicles at the Disneyland Paris theme park. Starting in 2010 Disneyland Paris began the transformation of their vehicle fleet from gas powered to a hybrid based vehicle. It is estimated through hearsay that the edition size of this pin may be as low as 25. What the 4 means on the back of the pin is unknown, it may be an individual # that identifies each pin, say 1 through 25, but that is just conjecture. As identified on the pin, Autopia in Disneyland Paris is located in tn Discoveryland, their version of Tomorrowland. Pin measures 1 9/16" in diameter.
I first got this pin directly from a source within the park via an aquaintence. I traded it to an individual in France. Remarkebly my French aquaintence was able to trade for it about a year later and I have the same exact pin back in my hands. It's one of the rarest Disney pins I have ever come across.
