I thought I would throw my 2 cents in here. I am
not a expert on Dragonball cels by any means, but
I have been collecting Sailor Moon cels (a Toei
product, as well) for quite a while now.
This is purely a guess, but I am wondering if
this is a Toei reproduction cel. I have two SM
cels that I am 99% sure are repros. One is a
Sailor Jupiter cel exactly like the one that just
recently sold on eBay. It has no sequence
number. The only thing that indicates it is a
repro is it came with a separate piece of
cardboard that says 47/100. But the weird thing
is when compared to a screen cap of the scene in
the anime it is identical except for some
shadowing and very minor line differences. For
example, they painted her collar and the shadows
on her collar the wrong colors of green. There
are the same kind of slight differences on my
other repro cel of Sailor Mars, too.
It kind of irks me that studios make it so
difficult to tell the repros from the real
production cels. Makes it real easy to get
ripped off. I'm not only talking about buyers
here, but dealers also.
Like I said, it's just a guess, but it seems to
fit what has been described in this thread.
