Maybe its just me.... but if I had ALL my layers 
seperated, under all these layers of plastic... I 
wouldn't enjoy my cels. I'd feel like one of 
those people who buys comic books and then never 
reads them even once because they don't want to 
damage them.

I try to take the best care of my cels as I can, 
but I AM going to enjoy them. And right now, if 
that means just keeping them in the book the way 
they are, well... I guess thats how they will be 
for now. Please don't think I'm a neglectful 
owner, because I'm not. I'm conscious about 
washing my hands, I'm conscious about making sure 
my books aren't too heavy and finding someplace 
to store them vertically if I have to... and I 
have intentions to one day get just about every 
single one of them professionally framed.

But I'm not going to be afraid of my own shadow 
and I'm not going to treat them as if they will 
turn to dust at any moment. Because they 
won't. :) They are plastic painted with plastic, 
not centuries old manuscripts. ^_^ Hell, I still 
treat my cels far better then my 2500 year old 
Egyptian beaded bracelet! *smiles*

Cels are art after all, so they deserve to be 
shown, seen, and MOST importantly: Enjoyed. And 
with the way I have them at the moment, they can 
breath... plus they aren't tightly wrapped, but 
are secure in an archival book. They are easier 
to check up on as well - and hey, if they're 
going to stick to something they are going to 
stick to something - even if its the very bags 
you're storing them in. Its just this way I can 
go through every 6 months or whatever, make sure 
they're all happy and unstuck... and I don't have 
to mess with the bags which you're supposed to 
change frequently anyways. 

Call it flawed thinking, but thats just how I 
feel at the moment. I might change my mind down 
the road... or I might have a wall covered in 
framed cels. :)
