The ultimate collector?

[cutiebunny]

The most traumatizing thing I've ever seen was at the Ghibli Museum where they have LOTS of original pieces tacked to the 'model studio' walls...

I've never gone to the Ghilbi Museum, but I have been to the Toei Museum. Toei seems to like to cut the character out of the cel and then place it with several other cut-outs in a matted frame. I have no clue as to the acidity of the materials used for the matting, but considering the disregard that Toei has in all of its cel based products, I'd imagine it's whatever they found at the 100 yen store. They then put these pictures in a harshly lit room, and attempt to hide them behind the PreCure cutouts(because the fieldtrip kiddies want to see PreCure, not cels from 30-year-old Akko-chan no Himitsu).

Yeah, I still cringe when I think about the cut of Dr. Slump cels, laying out to "play" with, in the abandoned cel production machinery room at the Toei Studio...

How can they do that to a piece of history… their work, have they no respect

have they no respect

Maybe I was a little too dramatic here .. I know I’ve had a few unintentional accidents but to purposely do what was mentioned by rei and cutie is mindboggling

Well ... I was once silly enough to bid on one of those lots of 100 cels from A Tree of Palme. The seller had "salted" the lot with a few eyeworthy items, but most of the rest were partials, elbows, wormy things crawling, etc. etc. I still have the books in my closet, but I've been seriously tempted to donate them to some sort of educational effort where people could see, feel, and lovingly destroy them. Otherwise, sooner or later the box is going to go into the trash where the consigner should have put them instead of using them to cheat people on YHJ.

I'd be happy to send a book to anyone who has a big box of push-pins and a big wall to stick them to.

My guess is he may have gotten most of those in for free from studios who just let ya walk in and take what you want before they dump/destroy everything. That is the only think I can think of on why he would stuff everything in boxes and stack them that way. If he had actually paid the kind of money we collectors normally pay for certain artwork, I doubt he would treat it that way.

Okay, the way he organize those cels/sketches totally horrified me! xD But gotdamn...

Oh wow, Heidi sketches? Those are EXPENSIVE! S'why I don't have any, LOL

My cels are kept in Profolios, which I keep in my closet. Some I hang with clip hangers in my closet. I don't like to keep them outside of the closest for fear of sun damage ^^; But I do take them out and look at them!

How nice would it be to win something like this at an storage auction sale. It would be like Chirstmas for like 10 years

It’d be better than winning the lottery

You and me both! I'd love to collect Heidi stuff but I just don't have $3000~$5000 to spend on ONE sketch, let alone a cel!! To boot pretty much ALL the Heidi Hanken I've seen are fakes, so my motivation to go after those are little to none. I'm sure if a real one popped up on the market the price would be ASTRONOMICAL.
