I have a limited edition, #68/105 large gilce print of "Snow White Discovers The Cottage." The physical dimensions are 27" X 17" with the beautiful frame the overall dimensions are 34" X 24". I purchased this in 2011. It's so difficult to get an accurate or even within 20% of the current market value. I'd like to get a value for insurance purposes.

Here is one that is asking $1775. It is double-signed. If yours is not signed, it will be worth considerably less. Go on eBay for a few weeks and see if something similar to yours comes up. Also, see what the final price is.
Probably one of the reasons you are having difficulty finding the value is that most of the paintings up for sale are of the canvas variety and there is no comparison with a print.
it is good that in amazon and ebay is selling these at a price, because in fact Thomas Kinkade prints really do not have much value. It is beause the marketing model that the Kinkades chose really overinflated their value. More on that here:

"The self-proclaimed and trademarked "painter of light" was so popular among fans of pastels and candlelit windows that his company, Media Arts Group, went public with a $110 IPO in 1994. Kinkade was MDA on the NYSE until January 2004, when he bought in back for $32.7 million after the stock had lost more than 80% of its value. It was kind of like buying a Kinkade painting that may have had some nonsentimental value in the pre-Internet '90s, but when the Internet hit and the markets were flooded with Kinkades selling for much less than they were in stores, investment value plummeted.
"He has gorgeous stuff, but they QVCed it to death," Kahn says. "They sell beautiful Kinkade prints in galleries and on cruise ships, but the frames are worth more than the prints.""
