I remember the day I began cel collecting for real. I inquired about a Tasuki cel at Anime Chaos, and I was so excited because it was the most perfect cel of him I'd ever seen, and I could actually afford it. I was crushed the next day when I got a negative response back, saying it was already sold. but I didn't give up! The very next day I purchased my 3rd FY cel, a Chichiri without his mask, so it all ended okay.
I know there's a lot of great and drool worth FY cels out there I'll never have a chance at, whether they're too expensive or they're going to sit in someone's collection for eternity, but that doesn't discourage me.
It's wonderful to see everyone's collections, especially the dealers, for they usually have some of the best. As for me, I'm quite proud of my Tasuki & Miaka cel, or my Evil Tamahome. I may not have like 50 awsome cels, but I do love the ones I have been fortunate enough to obtain. That's what makes cel collecting so fun. ^^
Hope this helps in any way, and if not it's my own two cents. Take care, everyone.
