I did know that, of course. I just don't bother with it as most of my cels have already been lovingly scratched, abused, smoked at, dinged up, framed in the worlds' worst conditions, or otherwise pre-damaged. So the potential for a cat hair or a fingerprint of mine will hardly matter
I do agree on this for a lot of my cels. However, Inuyasha cels seem to be an exception. Most of mine are in very good or excellent condition. So I am going to look for some gloves to buy soon.
Do take it easy on your husband, kittens. At least he is interested in your cels. Mine could care less, which is okay since that way he doesn't realize how much I spend.

That is true (and you are lucky that he does not know )
For us m hubby is the one who pays all bills b/c I cannot count at all (even though I am a mathematician....), so he knows exactly how much I spend on cels....

So aernath teaches the ultimate way of fetiches!!

I can believe that, especially given that Inuyasha cels are basically five to fifteen years younger than some of the cels I've collected. I've seen some that were pretty badly abused... but you have some of the high-end gorgeous ones that were undoubtedly cared for VERY well all along!!
You lucky thing, you

That is true..... I might make a new thread to see it
I "always" wear gloves whenever I touch cels....
I just wash my hands... throughly... and dry them... throughly. And only touch the edges/corners ^^;

Your husband sounds like my boyfriend. I have just come to an understanding with him that he is just not allowed near the cels LOL He always jokes saying that he is going to open them before I get home and that is sooooo scary...especially after how much each cel means to me!

I am pretty sure that your boyfriend knows how much he would be in trouble if he touch them like my hubby knows
What was it like before how much each cel means to him or her ? How about that.
