Cel collecting has to be one of the most addictive 
hobbies out there but have you ever asked your 
self why? My opinion on the matter is that cel 
collecting is a hobby that has fast rewards and 
can almost never upset the collector. You buy a 
cel, you get it, you have it forever and if you 
get sick of it... you sell it. There is almost no 
drawback to this hobby. Its not like bonsai where 
it takes years to grow a tree that may die. It is 
better than stamp collecting because a cel is, and 
this may not seem logical but think about it, much 
bigger than a stamp. Also they look nice. Many 
things one might collect are not visually 
rewarding. Yet another reason, though many deny 
it, is showing off your brand new cel. No matter 
what you say. It gives you some satisfaction to 
hear someone say "that's a mighty fine cel." This 
has two sides though. Some people do not 
experience this other side simply because they 
don't have good enough cels but it IS possible to 
get tired of offers on your cels especially when 
you do not want to sell them. Yet ANOTHER reason 
why this hobby is so rewarding is because it gives 
you a chance to own an actual piece of your 
favorite anime. It is also the fun of the 
chase. Waking up at insane hours to get the 
Taro update or having Keep-Track running on 
your laptop at all times. Those are the main 
reasons that this is such an addictive hobby. I 
hope to have other installments of "Cel Theory" in 
the future. Thank You for your time.
