Since these new attractions were on a grand scale, let’s look at some Jumbo Tickets from 1958! This a mixed set, the B and C tickets are from other ticket books, but you get the idea.
What a Jumbo deal! Three bucks for admission to Disneyland and 15 rides (hey aren’t they “attractions”)
When these say Jumbo, they mean Jumbo. These tickets are BIG. Here is a comparison for the “D” ticket over the years. From the top down; Today’s 1958 “D” ticket at ¢35, next from the early 60’s “D” at ¢45, then May 1971 “D” at ¢70 and bottom from September 1980. The magic shrinking “D” ticket!

Love those Jumbo books! And that blue version of the "greatest construction show on earth" is pretty scarce, seems I usually see them in yellow/gold. But even the yellow ones aren't easy to come by!
I love the size comparison...pockets must have been larger in the 1950s :)
Funny. Currency did the same thing... Bills from the 1860's are so large, they're called "bedsheets". They got smaller thru the years, till today, the dollar's only 6" long.
