This Little Mermaid VHS Tape Could be Worth Thousands

Have you ever seen that clickbait? Supposedly there is the Black Diamond collection of Disney VHS tapes from the 80s/90s that can be worth a lot of money. Don't believe that hype. That has been debunked. However, before I debunked it, I was in a small town in Indiana this summer visiting relatives. The few stores on main street were mainly antique stores. There were plenty of Disney VHS tapes around. I was wondering if they had the Little Mermaid one.

Lo and behold, there it was. I purchased it for a dollar fifty. I'm going to sell it for $1000. Surprised no one else grabbed it over the years.

It's been a long time since I purchased a VHS tape. Don't even have a player anymore.

What's the big deal? Well it's the art work, specifically the design of the castle turrets. Take a look - does it remind you of anything?

Well, the phallic symbol turrets made it past censors originally but then the movie posters and DVD covers were soon replaced.
