Cels Forum

People who don't know much about cels tend to price bad 
cels a lot because they think any cel should be worth at 
least a hundred bucks just BECAUSE it's animation art. They
may also be used to selling American art because the value 
for cels in America is usually higher because the cels are 
harder to come by. But for obscure anime collectors, this 
can be a blessing in diguise. My favorite cel, a Miyazaki
cel from the final episode of the 2nd Lupin III series in
1980, was sold to my friend who bought it for a present 
for me for $150. If the people at Nichibei had known it was 
a Miyazaki cel, they would have charged about three times 
that. O_o Of course, on an auction site like ebay it doesn't 
make much of a difference if other people realize the value 
of a underpriced cel -_-;
