Anime-Beta TNG

I bid early all the time and I bid my max. This way, I'm not tempted to wake up early to bid even higher. I absolutely hate having to wake up early for an auction. I work nights, so asking me to stay up past 4 am to watch an auction end is just not going to happen. My thought is that if something go...

I am very guilty of not updating my gallery, and there are items I've had since 2007(?) that I have yet to add...It's strange that, even though most of these people have stopped collecting and I have moved on to focus on original art, I still operate under the assumption that, if I update too quick...

I don't hold back at all, but, since I generally prefer shoujo animes, it's something that a lot of people aren't interested in. Most of the titles that I enjoy, such as Rozen Maiden and Pichi Pichi Pitch, don't have a large fanbase outside of Japan. Of course, if either show is aired in the US, th...

I'm thinking about creating an Instagram account for my cels. Wondering if anything would really come from it, though. My experience has been that people with either treat IG like a store with the assumption that everything posted is for sale or they will tell you that they own something else which...

I actually visited the site tonight to see if Sensei had posted the YoR topic and was not disappointed lol OMG...we've been doing this for 16 years now... 1. What was the best thing that's happened to your gallery/collection in 2021? I did very little this year. I got really put off by Instagram in ...

Thank You for that post about what the different parts in making a anime. I couldn't see something I happen to come by a few times. I see people posting that they have something callled a "Bank Cel". I can't seem to find any information about bank cels. A bank cel is one that is used more...

Few conventions have cel dealers now simply because the production of most cels stopped 2 decades ago. Even at the larger cons I've been to in the past few years, there might be one (and only one) seller. Most of the cel dealers tend to focus on larger West Coast conventions as that's where the busi...

Itoya does make larger portfolios . I believe their largest is 19x24. Obviously it's hard to say if that'll fit your cel until you get the dimensions. But I've used that for larger cels. I recently bought some larger mylar bags on Bagsunlimited for this huge sketch that I own that won't fit into any...

I just used Rinkya to buy some stuff. They're not going to run off with your deposit.

Just because a show is still popular doesn't mean artwork is always expensive. Long term collectors, particularly those with a lot of disposable income to throw around, tend to go after particular things. Maybe there's a particular sequence they want. There are episode and character collectors as we...

I remember hearing that it had to do with preventing counterfeit US currency to be made. I don't know how accurate that is though

The manga ending was rushed and I felt was sort of a letdown too. I had hoped that the deal that Emma made regarding

the sacrifice of her memories to save the enslaved human population

would have been touched upon more but the ending felt rushed and very predictable.

I've heard a lot of bad things about the second season of Promised Neverland. I would recommend reading the manga. It was very good and something I looked forward to reading while it was still being released in Japan.

These are really nice. The first cell's eyes are really detailed.

I especially loved The Simpsons meme addition to the cel. I say we make this a standard feature for all naughty bits

I'm glad to see that you're still around, Tori. I hope things are going well for you.
