There are 980 of these and I have #712. Size 18x24 unframed. I purchased directly from Lighthouse Publishing in 1995 and chose the frame. I have the certificate and it is double signed and has the numbers 1988 hand painted in the lower right corner. Frame burl wood. I am wondering if I should get professional appraisal and how do I know who to trust? Does anyone know approximately what this is worth and if it is worth my time and money.

This one is the same size and is $79.99 on Amazon www.amazon.com/
I'm sorry but there are too many variables in 'paintings' for anyone to provide any sort of value to your painting.
Actually, the information you provided really tells us nothing about the painting except the size and number in this edition.
This looks like it could be the same as your picture but it is a listing by an art studio and people will pay more money to a studio than to an individual seller.
Why?
They trust the business more and usually feel more confident they will receive what they're paying for and items will be shipped properly.
This does not provide value as it is just someone selling paintings who believes this to be the current value.
Both listings are from the same seller.

As a general rule, an official appraisal will be costly and their value will be for insurance purposes which is much higher than an appraisal for retail value.
Here is a link to sites that offers free appraisals which you may wish to try before paying a local shop.

You forgot to write it on canvas or paper. This must be written on the certificate.
I found Thomas Kinkade Yosemite Valley SN Paper 24" x 18" priced at $419.99
There is Thomas Kinkade "Yosemite Valley" ("Late Afternoon Light at Artist's Point") 18" x 24" Limited Edition Lithograph on paper, Signed and Numbered Limited Edition with only 980 in this edition:
And there is a double signed Limited Edition Lithograph Canvas:
It seems to me that you have canvas.
There are only 980 in this edition, so this is one of the rare lithographs. Somebody already asked the price of Kinkade Yosemite Valley 346/980 sn Canvas, 18x24 unframed, purchased in 1994, with Certificate of Authenticity.
