WARNING:
This is a long story>>so stop now if you`d like
to see some interesting cels ^-^ or opinions..
If you don`t like Dragonball then `really` don`t
read the following! ^-^
"Why I stopped collecting DBZ/GT (for now)?"
More than a few people have asked me this
recently and I`d like to explain it this way.
Well, for now I have put my DBZ collecting on
hold. I was over-doing it really. I had amassed a
lot of really nice cels fast!, but not too many
that I could imagine framed on `my` wall. Why?
Because, I really only wanted to collect a few
characters after I really, really, considered it.
I had started out collecting all of the major
characters and villians like a lot of other DBZ
collectors do. I decided, after some time, that
this was wasteful. I began to concentrate on the
few characters that I really admired. Those
happened to be the two of the rarest characters
in the whole series!! That meant that I had to
spend more money. So, I began to sell the lower
priced cels. Usually the villians. I still like
Broly though (1st movie) ^-^. And do plan to
collect him again if given the chance, in the
future.
Anyway,I also started to sell all of the
character cels that I could live without, Trunks,
Vegita, and other popular DB characters in
exchange for different cels that I also enjoy
immensely, and tend to be from rare and expensive
anime series.
Still....
It was tough to do!!, I really like DBZ!! BUT at
the same time, although my collection has been
down-sized, I feel even more satisfaction now,
especially with the edition of 3 new Superb
"Gunnm" cels along with a few others.
Conversely, I would not trade head to head, or
sell a good Gunnm cel for any Dragonball cel!! I
also, like Escaflowne (movie)cels tremendously,
but to a slightly lesser degree.
Last, I also, unfortunately had my share of shady
or unstable collectors from the DBZ/GT series. I
was very fortunate not to have been completely
ripped-off. I took a break from the crowd.
On the other hand, I have meet some of the best
collectors from this series and I consider them
to be some of the most decent and honest people
that I know collecting... period. And a lot of
them I owe a tremendous amount of credit for all
of the wisdom and advice that I have received
over the past 5 or 6 months. Thank you for your
concern.
I hope that I answered your question. ^-^
Cheers!

P.S.
When I do return it will be for a Gojita4, SS
Gohan2, or a young Broly most likely...^-^
