Yes, I have quite a number of cels from shows I've never seen. I don't collect cels solely because they're from scenes of shows I love, I also collect for the sheer artistic beauty of them.

And I eventually end up seeing most of the shows anyway.

Most of the folks above have pretty much covered it, so add one more vote for "don't particularly care for most of the CG series I've seen" and "they're just not as visually appealing". You can probably add in "and dealers are charging as much for some CG series sketches as ...

I tend to collect from shows I've enjoyed or from series where I love the art. Down deep I'm an art collector at heart, and I freely admit that I still haven't every series I have cels from. I keep the cels because I love them for their sheer artistic merit. Of course, the shows that have touched me...

I have a standard statement on my gallery that I'm not taking unsolicited offers, and that's true for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that my cels that are not on my for sale page are all in boxes and I don't have time to go searching through them right now. I've only once sold a cel ...

My Neflite death scene cel, shown only at the very top of my favorites page. The cel I never thought I'd have. I've had it for a number of years and I still can't believe it's mine.

Episode 24, the end of Neflite. I forget what the official title is. I can't count how many times I've watched this show and it's the one episode I'm still looking for certain cels from!

My first wishlist cel was Neflite...ANY Neflite. I didn't think I'd ever find one, so I wasn't picky. Silly me. The first scene I ever pointed at and said "I WANT that cel - that one RIGHT there" was from BGC2040. And, uh, I'd kind of forgotten that I already had it. (How embarrassing. Thi...

A freebie thrown in from a YJ seller....not a perfect image, but those who know my taste in cels understand why it is one of the best presents I received!

I strongly prefer not to make offers. It has to be a very, very special cel for me to do that. I'm trying to remember the last time I ran into one of those, and I can't. I admit that I look at a lot of pages of "cels for offers", but until prices go up, it's all window shopping. I've accep...

Back in the day it was BGC2040. I love the series, and amazing cels from pivotal moments were absolutely dead cheap. Then there was the year Animaxis was at Anime Expo and had piles of pan cels from the series with backgrounds....oh, my aching credit card. (Not to mention the logistics of getting th...

You're not alone.

I finally counted the number of cel books I have because I had to box them up to get them out of the way while the new carpeting was installed. I was...appalled.

And yet I still look at cels for sale....silly me.

Hi -

I've answered all PMs and email received to date, so if you haven't received a reply, either I didn't get it or your spam catcher ate it. (Mmmm, spam :) ).

Longest I've waited for a cel is just over a year. It's a long story, and I have no regrets about waiting. I'm not in any rush to do it again, though.
