"Best way" only applies to how you want to present
them (if at all), obviously.. I store my cels WITH
their pencils and/or backgrounds, but separated
with either a) tissue paper (between douga and
cel), b) a cut up cel bag (for backgrounds or
layers), or c) double-bagged (cel in a bag, taped
to background in a bag). The bagged cels then go
into a cel book. Some people store the douga
separately (like another book, or even just in
files), and some together, that doesn't really
matter...
This "cel-bag-book" setup is best for occasional
viewing, large storage capacity, higher protection
from ambient light and environmental variables,
and easier transport.
You'll want to frame only if a) you REALLY want
to look or show off the cel a lot, b) have a
relatively protected area from too much direct
light, and c) are willing to put in the time,
effort, money, and learn how to take care of
framed cels (framed cels take a little more care
than merely slipping them into a celbook, as
they theoretically require airing).
Then there are the thin sliding drawer filechests
normally used for archived paper products and
textiles in museum environments, but I really
don't think anyone has this setup. (Does anyone?)
Hmm.. Dunno about the paint-sticking thing, but
I guess Sonia answered that one fine. ^_^
However, I would like to make a distinction -
when a pencil or any paper is stuck to a cel, it
is *not* necessarily stuck forever. There *are*
methods of getting it off >;D, but not to be
tried without a fair amount of research and first
tried on a lesser cel, or take it to a cel
restorer - and being fully prepared to lose the
paper if necessary...
