Wow, what a depressing post. True, but 
depressing. As down as we can be on ourselves, we 
should all remember one thing:

This is a hooby. It's MEANT to be fun.

Now I don't want to get into the technicalities 
of ideals vs. reality, because that could just go 
on forever. But just remember that yes, we might 
sell our cels of in a few years, or need money 
later and own't be able to spend like this later. 
Which is why I enjoy it now. I plan for the 
future, but at the same time realizie it IS the 
future, and if you worry too much about the 
future, you miss the present.

So enjoy cel collecting. But don't let it rule 
you. And don't think so hard about it that you 
depress yourself because the value of your cels 
is not what you intended. The cel's value should 
mean something to you, and if it has good resale 
value, whoop-de-doo for it. If you're really 
worried about the finances of it, then don't 
spend money on it. Cel collecting isn't always 
about money, and shouldn't be.
