Widening/narrowing titles in your collection?

duotrouble · Post by **duotrouble** » Thu May 10, 2007 12:03 am

I'm trying to narrow. I've been dissolving a couple of series. But it seems like for every series I dissolve, I add a new one. So maybe I'm holding steady.

But Cloud, my gallery is online. Why would I program you to put my gallery online when it is already online? You must be one of those secretive collectors, trying to get me to do the impossible.

You never know what you will do until you face the circumstances.

Somewhere between holding steady and widening. Good cels of the series I collect hardly come up so I get tempted by other series.

But I do think for quite a while before taking the plunge and it also depends on what is available for these other series...

Narrowing, I s'pose. There's a few Dragonball-related cels I'm still tryin to find, but after I get those, the rest of my collecting will be exclusively Trigun.

Slowly adding and totally neglecting my online gallery. Cel collecting is on the back burner for me right now. I don't find myself obsessively searching for cels anymore, but I'm sure that will change once I have more time and energy to dedicate to the hobby.

I've slowed down and focused more on A!MG and Slayers: Phibrizzo. Actually, as you can tell, a LOT more on A!MG. (Phibrizzo is rarer).

I've slowed down... I think...

But there are times when I re-watch or get to watch an anime that I feel this strong urge to get something... What's a little sad is when I do that then a cel from my wishlist pops up and everything becomes less of a priority... So from time to time I question my motives on wanting such and such from other shows.............. Totally confuddled.

I've slowed down, mainly because I haven't seen many new cels from the series I collect lately. I'm not really adding any new series though, just holding steady.

Growing. New shows, new loves: Rilezu! And any production sketch work I can find. And I haven't given up on new stuff showing up from my old favorites, so I can't say I'm slowing down either.

Sort of odd, I had considered posting in this thread several days back but got distracted. Funny what a few days can change when real life kicks in. So I was going to say expanding, but I'm now going to have to say I'll probably focus on my core favorites for a bit and while being a bit more selective as well.

No complaints here, sometimes other good things come along : )

I will be adding some new series soon. I try hard not to add and generally want to keep my collection small, but it never really seems to stay like that long. I am currently looking for X cels and I have some Trinity Blood rilezus on order...and now I have been watching Basilisk and keep seeing some wonderful art from it....sigh...

I'm pretty much a one or two track rail.
Ever since Bleach, it's been Ichigo or Ranma.
There have been a few others here and there as money permitted.

Started out focused on Ranma and Tamahome. Then went towards AnC's Toya, and Mirage of Blaze's Naoe. And Weiss Kreuz's Aya.

Then SLAM! Ichigo all the way.

It's kind of amazing, really, that Ranma has been keeping up as well as he has.

I usually try to either narrow or stay steady in my number of titles. I have sold some cels just because I had no intention of ever adding to that particular series again.

Of course, when I watch different series, I immeadiately feel the need to collect favorite characters.

Cel fever, maybe?

I am also on the back burner right now, trying to focus on my other hobbies.

I'm trying to narrow things down to two or three musts, as when I first started I wanted to collect from several series, either because the art was pretty or I liked the show. I figure if I limit myself I won't spend as much or feel as pressured to buy certain cels. So far it's working.
