Thank you :)

I know I answered this in my previous e-mail, but
this was it EXACTLY. I figured it was worth it
to buy multiples because I really really liked
that episode, and I could choose which ones I
really wanted to keep once they arrived.

There isn't a law that says "thou must only buy
one cel from a sequence!" If that was true I 
would have had more luck in getting this Heero
and Relena Gundam Wing Endless Waltz cel I wanted,
but someone else bought the whole sequence. It's
sad, I was frustrated, but hey, that girl has
every single right to those cels and if she 
wants to keep them that's her decision, her cels,
her money. I have just decided that no one has
a ~right~ to anything except the owner of a cel,
and if you are lucky enough to get it, good for
you.

Cel collecting, when it comes down to it, involves
who you know, how much you have to spend, timing
(if you are there first, you get first pick),
pure luck, and if the seller wants to sell them
to you (in Japan I have noticed that there is
the "true fan" test, you get really dissed unless
you can prove that you are knowledgeable about a
series to some of the more otaku Japanese
collectors ^_^).

Anyway, just my thoughts on the whole thing.....
