The translator site I use translates it to "use only original illustrations"

In plain kanji it would be something like never-before-seen/unraveled genga assortment/collection...but I'm no kanji expert so don't quote me.

I believe sometimes the 秘 kanji can be used to censor things or could have some relation to adult material? Otherwise, it basically means "secret" or "confidential".

Of course, 原画 is "genga" with 集 referring to a "collection".

Does that help at all? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the paper side of the hobby. xD

Thanks guys/gals. I don't have the item with me yet. I probably should just have SMJ ship it. My main concern was whether these were original materials or a copy (similar to settei). It would be nice if it was "never seen before" though "secret" was my initial translation too, it's not adult material so I think that's out. So it's not a commonly used term I guess in paper collections. :D I'll let you know or describe it once I get them! :bounce
