those pictures that when you turn them slowly from side to side two different images are visable? They are typically plastic coated, sometimes used for "eyes" on a goofy (goofy, as an adjective - NOT a disney character) picture, sometimes the image appears to be "moving" when you look at it.

Thanx ExecGirl...I thought that Holograms were laser created, silver coated images?? The ones I'm talking about are not silver and almost have raised lines thru them. Are they too called holograms???

There are baseball cards like you described. Sometimes called 2D or 3D or motion cards, these are not holograms.
I know what you're talking about, but I'm not sure what they're called. But, a baseball card company made cards like that and they called them "magic motion" cards.

Yeah, yeah, auctionhound23 & gboy, just like the b-ball cards...also on old toy tv's, especially those for dollhouses....

I know what you mean but I'm not sure of the name. It was before holograms. They also made plastic rings like that where the pictures changed. Was it called a flicker?

Yup, kiara...the kinda rings you got for a nickel in the machines at the front of the super market!....Flicker sounds good too!...
I'm searching eBay inbetween posts here & found 3-d motion cards...when I try to broaden the search, I get thousands of listings (AGH!) including the dreaded "I'm leaving eBay" CD!!!!

Spam10, Thank you! After checking your definition in my online dictionary & referencing their top ten "lenticular" web sites, I truly learned something new today. It appears that technology certainly has advanced lenticular images light years beyond our flicker rings or the old dollhouse TVs.
Appreciate everyone's help!
