I was thinking about doing a large glass frame and having a bunch of them together. Kinda like this but bigger.

i was thinking the exact same, but I haven't planned it out properly yet, once you commit to which items go in its kind of set in stone? since all are different sizes pretty much

i'm thinking is there a way to do that but maybe not in glass?

I like the look of comic book stores where they pin the comics to the wall, pins through the bags cel bags...but then how do they stay filly protected like that...hmm

Be careful about framing your cels, Toei cels especially are prone to line fading. I won't hash it out again because there are multiple threads on the forum regarding this subject with tips in the for and against categories do a forum search I highly suggest it!

I myself won't frame my cels I have done high quality scans had them printed and then hung them. However all my pieces are stored in books vertically in a dark temp controlled closet :)

Best of luck!

Very nice collection!!

That is a really cool display idea, but I have to echo Jadeduo's words of advice. I used to frame my Toei Sailor Moon cels, using UV-resistant glass and hanging them in an alcove away from sunlight (and only indirectly in the path of incandescent bulbs). The lines still faded...since then, I've become militant about rebagging and storing them with Microchamber paper in books, stored on their ends and not stacked. Not to discourage you! JD's idea about printing a high-quality copy might be the way to go...that's a really smart idea!

Thanks for sharing your collection!
