Quantity or Quality?

Post by hyelakingsfan »

Whats up everyone, i was just wondering how many people prefer quantity and how many people prefer quality in cels?
I personally would prefer quality, but sometimes when there are decent cels for a cheap price, i will probably get it

I prefer quality. If I can find a cel that I like and its really cheap then I will still go for it but I prefer to save my money for great cels that may come along. :wink:

I suppose everyone will prefer quality... after all collecting cels is like collecting artwork and one would be hard pressed to find someone who wants to collect drawings done by kindergarden children. So I too prefer quality over quantity... although to be honest with the series I collect there really isnt much room for "quantity" cels. But I definately do see RX78GP02AGUNDAMs point it would be vrey fun to have a whole sequence of a scene and be able to animate it yourself ^_^

A big quantity of quality would be nice! :D

Sorry, you knew somebody would have to say it sooner or later.
...might as well be me.

I'm still buying the ones that grab hold of my heart and just won't let go. Prices for those have certainly gone up, though the quantity of what grabs me has not diminished in the least. If there's little quantity of quality, then I'll go with lower quality. (if it grabs my heart)

That was fun, can I say that three times fast? X|

Yes, who wouldnt want a big quantity of quality, but then you would be living in the streets with a binder of cels and that wouldnt be good would it? :P

Quality for me as well. I only buy one or two cels per year if I am lucky. There just isn't that much out there that gets me interested enough to buy it. If I like a cel enough, then there is nothing I wouldn't pay to have it.
Time is but an illusion. Lunch time...doubly so.

Well, when I first started I was totally gonna go quantity, but now i'm more for the quality. But like everyone else is saying why not have a big quantity of quality? That's what i'm tryin to do, but on my salary right now it's gonna take forever. :roll:

I have quite a quantity of lesser quality... ;-)

Hoping to remedy that as I go along. I would definitely prefer fewer but better cels, but hey. I'll take a wee little image of some characters over none.

As the military general said "Quantity has a Quality all it's own"

...not for me though. I'd rather have twenty GREAT cels than one hundred fairly-good cels.

Some shows I don't even bother collecting from because I've never seen decent quality cels from it for available. It's a shame, but I don't want to buy cels that aren't good just because I can't get good ones.

Was just thinking about this more... the idea of "quality" is of course highly subjective.

I do have a pile 'o throwaway cels that I purchased early on, or were bonuses with other things, that are most definitely not primo in anyone's book. BUT! I also have, for example, a 3-fer of Koinosuke doing a dance that I wouldn't part with unless I was destitute, becuase I think they're hilarious. They're most definitely no better than, I don't know, C grade cels at the outside limit. but they crack me up :-)

So yes! quantity of quality. And I'll define quality as: "Whatever makes me smile." :P
