This is a dual-image lenticular card promoting a theatrical re-release of Disney's original "Pinocchio" (1940). The year isn't given anywhere on the card but it was most likely the 1992 re-release. They were inserted in their own cello-packs one per box of specially-marked Cheerios cereal in Canada with back text in French and English. The set number is unknown but I think it's six. They are slightly smaller than standard size, measuring 2 1/2 x 3 5/16 inches and they have rounded corners.

This is one from a 40-card set that was part of a Phoskitos snacks (little chocolate cakes similar to Hostess Ding-Dongs in the U.S.). Each card measures 2 1/4 x 3 inches and shows artwork of a dinosaur (or possibly another prehistoric animal) on the front with some background text on the back. The promotion ran in 1993 so it may be related to the first "Jurassic Park" movie or just riding the wave of interest at the time.

This set has been mentioned on Card Talk but i don't think it's ever been shown. It's the 6-card "Die Another Day" promo set (Rittenhouse Archives, 2003) given out in cello-packs at "The National." It's a great promo item with provocative artwork and foil fronts with colorful backs as well. You almost forget that they don't have much in the way of descriptive text.

You don't always see it for sale. I think a lot of people kept the set they got. In the past several years, it has sold in the $10-20 range.

So we meet again Mr Bond.

I have that set so it must have been easy to get.

and cheap, i'll just get that in before somebody else does.

Here is the same set still in its cellophane wrapping unopened which to my surprise I came across this morning when sorting through a dusty box.
