Here ya' go... (Mon Oct 8 18:02:14 2001 )

First off, I'd like to say that RAXA probably had 
NO CLUE that these cels were from Yahoo! Japan.  
Secondly, I'd like to offer up evidence that they 
are the same cels from the set off of Yahoo! 
Japan:

If you really look at the pictured cels on the Y!
J auctions...You'll notice several things similar 
to the ones that Raxa is auctioning off of E-
bay.  

One:  The cels being auctioned off in both cases 
are identical.  How do I know this?  

Simple: The cels are the same...Sure enough, but 
we all know that cels can have different sequence 
#'s & look darn well exactly alike. So, what in 
the hell do you look for when you can't see the 
sequence #'s in both cases?  You look for 
irregularities in the cel scans....
In this case, compare this E-bay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=1015351778

To the aution that was on Y!J:

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b1439
0658

Look for irregularities in both the scans(You can 
use Rinkya's wonderful page to look at finished 
auctions =D).  What is it that I'm seeing in most 
of the cels being autctioned off in both cases?  
Stray specs of paint, or dust.  Look toward the 
left of the cel.  You'll see a black splotch...on 
BOTH CELS..In BOTH AUCTIONS.  Same thing in this 
auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=1015352668

Look just above her head in both auctions.  A 
splotch of paint in the same places...Even though 
the sketch is turned around in RAXA's 
auctions...It's still visible in BOTH pictures.

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=1015354579

Check out that splotch above his head.......

Anyway.  I do believe these are the exact same 
cels, but whether or not RAXA bought them off of 
Y!J is unknown.  So just because they're the same 
cels that were a Y!J auction awhile ago...Doesn't 
necessarily mean that RAXA's a re-seller.  If 
anyone needs me to explain more on my 
findings...Let me know.  Until then...Until you 
have solid proof that RAXA did win the auction to 
simply split the cels & re-sell...Let's try to 
keep the acusations off this board ;)!

Hope this helps put people's minds to rest!
