Surprises in Cel Collecting

Hmmm . . . the biggest surprise I ever got was one where I bought a bunch of cels off YJ that were listed as being stuck to their backgrounds. Apparently, the dealer never bothered to check, because when I got them, they certainly weren't.

That's awesome.

Always nice when that happens. It never has to me, but here's to hoping.

Nice.

It's fun how that happens. Do you have a link to its OP?

The second HxH OP's here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9_nZoQeE76Q&feature=related

at around 0:52, so you can see how brief it is.

Congrats. The colors in that cel are really pretty.

Wow, that's great. An opening cel and a bank cel, and it's very intense looking as well.

Cenbe wrote:Yes! That has happened to me too; this layout sketch from the Kamichu opening was buried in a group. What a nice surprise!

Wow, very pretty.

The shows I like to collect are cel-based, but I imagine with sketch based shows, finding treasures like this is more likely.

Yes, it's quite nice. You're lucky: I haven't gotten any freebies yet.

evilminion wrote:Well, congratulations a-plenty! I had that happen once with a cel from Photon... always amusing to our significant others, I'm sure, to hear the audible SQUEAK when we figure it out

Yeah, I was actually watching the opening with my wife saying I wished more cels in it were available, and she saw me realize that I had a cel from it. I'm sure it was very amusing for her.

Share the cel and the story!

Wow! That's really really beautiful!

And everyone has some really nice surprises!

I got alot of my favorite Disgaea OP's and ED's and EyeCatch's that way!

It never listed that they were op's or Ed's or Eyecatch's...

I was soooo happy! Just thinking about it makes me happy!
