Interesting comments Tri. I don't think you 
should worry about anyone trying to storm your 
castle walls, just yet. :)  

I just wanted to talk about slabbing cels. 

Judging something by grades -- ie, A level cel, 
which is both eyes opened, and a great head shot -
- might be too subjective. What will the 
deductions be? What should take preference? 
Should a face forward cel be judged higher than a 
three quatre profile? With comics, you're simply 
looking at the condition, ie bent corners, folds, 
or colour of the paper. There are also guides and 
even colour wheels you can use to judge the 
quality of the product. 

Anyway, I don't think people would be willing to 
pay more for a slabbed cel as opposed to an 
unslabbed cel from the same sequence, as they are 
with comic books.        

Personally, I don't like CGC -- or graded and 
slabbed comics -- because it gives the illusion 
that something is more valuable then it really 
is. A mint comic is a mint comic. CGC only makes 
sense if you can't see the book yourself, but at 
the sametime you shouldn't be paying more then 
the Overstreet value on it.
