Re: Cel Collectors

Yes I would say the FB group would probably be most active. I made an Instagram for my collection related stuff (even though I hate Instagram). My Insta is Inuseum.

Re: HELP with Mildew smell and Vinegar Syndrome

I had read up on them in posts on here I believe, and in the FB group, and saw a bunch of positive comments. I had debated giving them a shot for a few months before I received the one wavy cel. That was the only cel I sent off to them, just to see how the process went. I looked at this other compan...

Re: How do I clean the smudge and dirt on the non-painted area of the cel?

Looks like it could be that symptom of VS maybe. Not sure if you can really remove it easily.

Re: How do I clean the smudge and dirt on the non-painted area of the cel?

I would be hesitant to try anything with chemicals, so maybe try some distilled water? Do you have a picture? Vinegar syndrome can produce spots on cels, so hopefully that's not what you're looking at. https://www.celoasis.com/index.php/home/vinegar-syndrome/vinegar-syndrome-detection/ That site sho...

Re: Cel Preservation & Keeping VS cels

Just curious if you ever received your cel back from Cel Oasis. Did they actually fix your cel and honor their claim of halting VS? (I've often heard that once VS starts, it cannot be stopped. It can only be slowed down.) Thanks again for sharing. Assuming you were talking to me, I got my cel back ...

Re: Cel Preservation & Keeping VS cels

So i'm wondering: do I seriously lower the price as I wanted to sell it before the VS took place (and of course say that it has VS)? Or do I send it for restoration with a couple of other older pieces to Cel Oasis? Mmh difficult to decide what's best for the cel and for me... I guess it depends on ...

Re: Cel Preservation & Keeping VS cels

Curious which conservator you sent your cel to? Did the cel have more advanced VS?

Re: What is a "copy background"?

And even if the seller doesn't specify, it's easy to tell when you receive the cel. The copy background will always be a thin piece of paper, while the original is a much thicker paper with actual paint on it. And remember, original background does not mean it is actually a matching background.

Re: Zenmarket issues/good deputy that ships fast?

Given your experiences would you still recommend Zenmarket or would you suggest going with From Japan? I always used Rinkya in the past but from what I read recently it is more expensive than many alternatives. :? Yes I actually love Zenmarket and am happy to stick with them. It seems the major del...

Re: So what new animes is everyone watching now days?

Just Yashahime. I don't really watch anime, or tv period, but since I'm the biggest Inuyasha fan I know lol, I was super excited to hear about this. Still have mixed thoughts now that the first season of it is almost over though.

Re: Question on placing bids

The last auction I won, I did place a bid that was a good bit higher t...
