The Little Mermaid VHS

[klmorg]

Okay, so I had a yard sale about two weeks ago. In it I had about 150 old VHS movies for sale for $.50 each. A friend of mine that is a school teacher and who goes to church with me happens to stop by and casually picks up The Little Mermaid movie and walks over to me and says I should hold onto it because it is the 'original controversial artwork cover' and it will be a collectors item. Anyone know anything about this??? Should I keep it??

And yes, she pointed out the controversial artwork...I just don't know what do DO with it now

Great link...thanks. But what do I do with this movie?? I guess I will just put it up in a cabinet and maybe some day 50 years from now it will be amusing to remember all the controversy! Someone told me they saw an original sell for $80 on ebay but I found a couple and they were only about $20 to $25. Who knows, in another 25 years it may be worth allot more!!

Whether it goes for $80 or $20 it is a heck of lot more than $.50.

That's a wonderful point! I guess it is worth it to keep some of the old VHS tapes for a few more years.
