Re: Online Gallery a Deterrent to Counterfeits?

Less you show, less you have issue with potential counterfeit. For this particular online gallery aspect, at my side I do add several Photoshop modifications and filters in every online content, and do not offer access to HD pictures. About counterfeit auctions, well, basically report the issue to t...

Re: Dragonball eyecatch cel

A waste of cash, better to buy during the first Mandarake sale :) :cheers I disagree. It's hard to put a price on what you love. I've spent crazy amounts on stuff that some might consider a "waste" but if it's something I love, I could care less about other opinions. In regards to a Manda...

Re: Massive FRAUD

A Rubberslug gallery has just appeared with only cels that belong to me. The person who set up this gallery even called it using my name. If this jerk is focusing on your ID, it may be urgent to renew your current passwords by including encryption method. ID usurpation is unfortunaly with the cellp...

You're totally right, that's just one of the motivation, rest is love of art. I restored some that don't have such value.

I'll answer with a restoration condition, under $2000 art value, the potential resale value increase you'll earn by restoring a piece is non effective.
Basically to restore an animation art, focus on high end only as costs will be hundreds of $$$ per art.

Re: line fading, resurrecting a not so new topic

With Toei cels, I think much of the issue with line browning and fading is how the cel was made. The lines weren't great to begin with and no amount of proper storage is going to change that. I've done a few experiments with a few cheap GI Joe cels (animated by Toei) with really nice lines to see i...
