Quantity or Quality?

Quality definitely! I too go off the deep end when I first get into collecting a series. Then I settle down, sell off some of the quantity of cels to pay for my now high quality tastes.

I'd bring up a reference to "The Gong Show" here, except that I suspect most of you are too young to remember it.

*edit* Blast your hide! Now I'm going to go around humming that idiotic thing in my head all evening.

Like it can be heard over all the voices in your head anyways.

I am indeed a little to young too remember but I do know the concept.

I am sure I'd made that gong get banged more than anyone else.

When I first started collecting it was quantity...But now it is quality. Except for Yugioh cels, I don't care about the quality...Just quantity!

Ya gotta go with quality. I prefer looking at the smaller collections with some really nice cels, but that's just me. I wish I could get my collection to be higher quality and lesser quantity...but ya know *Orders 5000 cels* Damnit...

Ok guys, so since we know that most of you pick quality over quantity, now lets see exactly how much did all of you pay for your best quality cel?

matter of trade-off's. I'd rather have a good $100 cel than 100 blah cels
that cost me a dollar each. However, if you gave me the choice between
a $1000 cel that's spectacular and 10 $100 cels that are pretty nice, I might
go with the ten cels.

I really have to agree with this statement. In some instances, I have chosen to avoid the high price cel to get a few cheaper cels. And in some cases I go all out for the high priced cel while passing on the cheaper cels. It all depends on the feeling you get when you see the cel in choosing which path you take. As the definition of a "quality cel", is a little different in every cel collectors mind, depending on that persons personal preferences. And we all know that the mind of a cel collector is not always rational

Finding this a hard question to answer, as defining "your best quality cel" is kind of subjective, as the definition of quality has not been defined. But in terms of background, sequence number, condition, rarity and extras, I would have to say that I paid about $200 for my most quality cel.

*sways, with lighter in air, to Gabe and Baakay's rendition of Quality and Quantity*

I'll cast my ballot for quantity because I'm a compulsive spender

!
Although, I'd like to think I have one or two quality candidates.

Definitely quality.

Time to dig up some old threads on highest price paid and on total value/ price of your collection instead of rehashing this again

I'll go along with that! I had a hard time answering this question because like so many others have said it's really subjective my idea of quality.

Ok, let me rephrase that, in your opinion from your thoughts which one do you think is your most qualitical cel (even though there isnt a word like that but why not make one up, it sounds good

) doesnt have to be the most expensive but in your thoughts your favorite quality cel.
