I have a lot of AIC hankens - and only one of them is stamped with that AIC logo, so I don't think that really indicates anything. However, I do agree with the other posters - I don't believe this is a Burn-Up hanken. Those are definitely the same designs as those PC game hankens Macron one linked, ...

Animaxis has some beautiful hanken from BAV, btw, but they want like $4000 for each. 8O Is this even remotely typical? I don't collect BAV, but I have heard people complain about Animaxis hanken prices before--and these aren't just any people, they're collectors who normally shell out big bucks, an...

Re: About the framing

Since I have gotten a couple of their hanken before, the frames are pretty ordinary lacqure frames. The backing they use on the framing are quite nice. The struts in the back are on pivots so that you can open the back up and let the cel breath every year or two. They have not used glass in any of ...

A word of advice to anyone who might buy a hanken in the upcoming sale - do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT ask them to frame the hanken for you. If the hanken is already in a frame its ok - they are the cheap AIC plexi-fronted frames...but if you ask them to frame it they will use GLASS. And it will break. And...

Heh...you were one of the people I was thinking of when I thought about having larger brackets. 8O Heh. I just take comfort in knowing that there are people out there with collections that dwarf mine. So it can't be that bad, right? Actual cel count...um...er...well, its around 1800 at last check. ...

I guess Gabriel got all the Battle Athletes hankens he wants by now?
Not nearly. :D But the one listed in the auction was terrible, not even worth the opening bid. I have 2000 yen production cels with more detail than that hanken had. :P

I watched volume two the other day, and I am so hooked on this show - I absolutely can not wait for the remaining discs to come out. I know a lot of people are hesitant to pick this up because they think it is going to be like NieA_7, but its not at all.

Right now the majority of my cels have come from dealer sites. However, this has been changing a lot and I suspect by the start of next year, I'll be able to say that more than 50% have come from auction sites, primarily YJ. Its a lot easier to just click and buy something from a dealer, but it has ...

I always remove stuck sketches - they drive me nuts. I haven't had too much trouble with that, however - much of my gallery is AIC stuff that never has a matching sketch anyway. Haven't run into a stuck sketch yet that wouldn't come free after a visit to the freezer. :D

Well, I think that douga sketches generally should be kept with the cel, assuming there is a cel. ;) However, if you have a larger selection of sketches, like layouts, genga and such, then seperate listings would be justified. I am assuming of course that you are talking in regards to a rubberslug g...
