Re: What bothers you about this hobby?
For me, it's what Nick said.... I can't find anything from new series and, the rare times I do, it's a couple minor sheets. Nothing super-amazing and no selection. You take or leave the 1-2 sheets you see that are FAR too expensive for the images on them. I would love to find a decent selection from...

Removing severely yellowed tape... opinions?
I'm on a several years now crusade to remove the tape from all sketches in my collection. However, some have tape so severely yellowed that I can't see the situation getting worse. Dry and gone to the point it falls off the paper as you handle the sketch. So far, I've been simply noting sketches in ...

Re: Cel bags: Heiko gone?
Thank you! I will send them a mail. I know the sizes I need so I don't actually need to see the site itself. ^_^

Re: Noragami genga?
Interesting. I hadn't seen these and, other than being able to click and see these two links, I can't find them on the site when navigating from the top page. What category/section are they under? They do seem a bit steep for the images, but I always make the assumption what's "steep" to o...

Cel bags: Heiko gone?
I just went to order another round of bags from Heiko (www.heikoinc.com) and found the site down "for maintenance". Shrugged and checked back.... However, it has been down for days now. Anyone heard about any problems they're having? I'm really hoping they're not out of business. I love th...

Re: When you pay wayyyy too much for something...
I try to be *SUPER* careful to avoid bidding wars, but I've still been in three I would call complete knock-down drag-outs. One of the three went a couple hundred dollars higher than the one you just showed. ^_^ In my defense, I've tried to feel bad about bidding so high and I can't. All three are i...

Noragami genga?
Has anyone seen any genga from Noragami for sale? I saw some people resharing images from a twitter post saying there was some at a store. (I'm assuming in Japan.) Nothing further than that, however. I would be very interested in acquiring some. ^_^ (Incidentally, same still holds true for MAGI, tho...

Re: Warning about an eBay seller .....
It sounds like he(?) added a foreground flower somehow to cover that her one foot is missing... which IMHO isn't something I would want to see done to something of mine, but your mileage may vary. However, I read his entire description and you honestly have a legitimate question. Your question is NO...

Re: Newest addition came in and there's a BIG issue
I haven't had a problem with sketches when scanning. (Not yet.) But I sometimes have trouble with cels not scanning correctly, particularly a couple with dark backgrounds. They come out ghosty looking, as if the scanner light is reflecting off the cel in weird ways instead of illuminating it. I have...

Re: Newest addition came in and there's a BIG issue
My Mustek is probably a similar scanner to the one mentioned. I love it mostly for how much can be scanned in one sweep. It's not often I have to stitch together scans anymore. ^_^ They are NOT cheap and we had to special order it into a large store in the city (local stores insisted they couldn't o...

Black Butler live action movie question....
So I found a DVD on Amazon for the Black Butler live action movie and thought "OMG! How did I not hear this was out in the US???" However, then I read the description more carefully and noticed it's an "all region" disc with LOTS of complaints about poor subtitling in the comment...

Re: To unframe or not to unframe... that is the question.
I'll start with a disclaimer that I know almost nothing about WB artwork, framed or not. However, I would lean towards keeping them in the frames if they were both framed by the studio (or an art shop the studio specifically uses) AND have identifying information on the frame (or frame backing) itse...

Re: Just venting, shipping frustrations
No, you can still buy it. If they lose the package entirely, you get the insurance payment. They don't ask what was in it. At least, this was the experience of one person I knew whose package went *poof*. The post office was just like "oh well, here's your insurance" after they spent a few...

Re: Just venting, shipping frustrations
Honestly, because you have to give up the contents of the package to claim any of the insurance, the only reason I insure at all is in case of complete loss. As in, the package goes missing entirely. Some years back, I had the end of a package get damaged resulting in ONE oversized piece (of several...
