Oh, my.

I've actually never liked Mistress 9 cels, but this one is just breathtaking!

Good luck to whoever wins it!

Actually, it's been for sale forever in the store section of the site but with a 600Y price tag!

Yeah, I was never interested in it for that price...but it isn't bad for half! It is from a flashback from the beginning of the Stars Season.

I've had that on my wishlist for several years but just couldn't justify paying it's original price tag. I'm sad they've finally lowered the price while I'm broke.

I have been admiring it for several years as well, but I couldn't justify the price tag either due to the amount of damage on the cel itself. Congrats to its owner though.

I was the happy winner of this beautiful M9 cel!

I have been wanting this cel ever since Mandarake put it up for sale many years ago, but I too balked at the high price like a couple of you mentioned. I was hoping another one from this sequence would show up on YJ, but in all those years, one never did so I decided to go for this auction. Ironically, I ended up paying about the same price in the end due to the awful yen rate conversion, lol.

I just got her in the mail this weekend. I was a little anxious about the condition of the cel, but I was relieved to see that it doesn't have any damage at all. It's not even stuck to the matching background and only has a couple of teeny tiny areas of line fading. I think Mandarake was just being overzealous in their description of condition issues as per usual. It really is a stunning cel to see in person and I'm so glad I ended up winning her.

Wow, congratulations! I should have known a collector of high-end SM would have plucked this one up.

Hey, at least you saved some money with it being on auction!

Congratulations! I'm so thrilled it went to you! :3 I tried going for it as well, but the price went too high for me to be able to afford it. Such a stunning and rare find! I can't wait to see it in your gallery!

I was the underbidder and just couldn't go any higher. I'm glad you got her though, she'll look great in your collection!
