Thanks to the Mandarake Big Web Auction, I just got a copy settei set from the 1987 “Tale of Genji” anime, directed by Gisaburo Sugii (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmw6hvyOz5U).

I was the only bidder …
But, I feel pretty lucky to have won the set. It was only recently that I was able to acquire a cel from this movie, and I’ve never seen any other settei. Here are some sample images:

(And, sure enough, they were held together with those rusting staples!

It's like said before, sometimes its the only art you ever going to see from some shows
The one and only settei I every bought was BECK http://senseighibli.rubberslug.com/gall ... esID=22195
And still its about the only art I have ever seen, even no other settei.

These 3 where sold as original settei sketches, before the where copied : http://senseighibli.rubberslug.com/gall ... esID=18729
But those you can count as real sketches I suppose

Original settei and original storyboards, especially the ones finely drawn, are very collectable and can be very expensive as they are drawn by the key animators or character designer.
I have a couple photocopy sets too and like everybody else has said, they are fun to have but only worth the cost of the paper they are copied on.

Is there any way to tell if the settei or storyboard in a given auction is original (if the auction is on YJ for instance) or is it safer to assume that more settei and storyboards that come up for auctions are copies?

I think it's safe to assume that any settei or storyboard up for auction is a photocopy, unless the seller makes a point of stating that it is "handwritten" or "autograph." Originals do exist and do come up for auction occasionally (more often on Mandarake than YJ). But as these are normally distributed to an animation staff in photocopy form, it's much more likely that the auction is for a first-generation or perhaps even a later-generation copy.
