Well, you mention "c-d shot" collectors. Maybe 
it's possible that "c-d shot" is all the person 
can find, afford, or even want? 

I say this because that's all i can get for 
myself. I'm sure you've figured that out anyways. 
I don't have an unlimited income, and can't 
afford Hotohori "a shot" cels - let alone find 
them. So I get what i like, and can afford. 

I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way 
about thier favorite and "hard-to-find" 
characters. I'm proud of what I have - because 
they are original production cels. My hotohori 
cels might not be "a shot" cels... but i adore 
them just the same. Of course I would like a 
typical portrait cel of him.. i just have to be 
patient, and satisfy my "craving" with what I luv 
now. 

Cels are cels - we all know how hard they can be 
to get, and how pricey they are. No one person in 
here is better than the other because of their 
grade of cel... we're a communtiy of people that 
share the same hobby. 

I know you said "that's thier business...", but i 
had to say something - because sometimes us "c-d" 
shot people can get shut out...


- here's a pic of my favorite "d shot" cel...^_^
