Yes, the cost is very low compared to the one of a
real hanken cels : Last month, during AIC auction
of hanken cels, one of "Ah! My Goddess" reached $8000...
Compared to the Evangelion hand-painted limited edition
cels that are sold around $60 to $100 in Japanese shops.
(anyone know what was the original costs when they
released them ?).

As it's copies, the "production" cost is the same
whatever picture it is except if there is realy
a differance of complexity between two pictures.

But yes, making a copy of a Slam Dunk cel wouldn't
be worth the work involved. But as I said, original
hanken cels are worth at least more than $1000

Yes, it's exactly that ! The only differance is the
quality of the result. But then, there is "fans" who
worked in anime studio and who's job was to paint cels...
In such case, it become nearly impossible to make the
differance...

(to be continued...)
