Where did you actually buy this. are there any limited edition numbers on the back?
Originally Posted By Disneymann89 Yes this is a lenticular. I bought this when pirates was reopening after they put in the women chasing the pirates. I bought it in the store across from the exit of the ride. I can't remember what the store was called though. It was the store where you could buy Mardi Gras stuff. And there are no limited edition numbers on the back.

Originally Posted By Disneymann89 ya they don't have anything. I even posted a topic there and no hits yet. And I posted it on the 21st.

Here are a few things you could do: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Go back to where you bought it and see if they say it is worth anything more, because it aged. 2. Like Socrates said, you could go with the ask Tom option. 3. I think (though I'm not quite sure) that there is a VALUE button on the homepage of ANTIQUESROADSHOW.COM. For about $50, you can talk with an agent from antiques roadshow. 4. Go to a total New Orleans Square Fanatic site and ask them, they should have a forum.

Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara The item may not have an edition number, however the run was very limited--100 or fewer. It was made by Kodak. The current value is about $250. It used to be higher, but like most Disney collectibles it's gone down.
