That's been there for a while... (more) (Sun Dec 16 23:29:27 2001 )

They've been there for about a month and a half- I 
was going to announce them here, but I was 
extremely underwhelmed. I spent about 2 hours on 
the phone with Travis, who is the owner of IconUSA 
about 2 months ago, and we discussed all kinds of 
cel storage/preservation ideas. He seemed very 
excited, and talked about making all kinds of 
stuff specifically for cels, but it turns out all 
he put on was that stuff- it's some of his same 
old supplies repackaged "for cels". The mats are 
standard mats for 8x10 photos, the sleeves are 
their standard 11x14 sleeves, and the cases are 
just archival photo storage cases. It's a good 
idea, and I have stored my best cels in a very 
similar manner, but I found that if you search 
around other sites, you can find the same supplies 
(sold as what they originally were, photo storage 
items) for a good deal less money. He also totally 
ignored the concept of cel books, he kept trying 
to get me interested in photo boxes, I'm guessing 
because he makes a good profit on the boxes. I 
couldn't seem to get across that most collectors 
store thier cels the Japanese way, in cel books.
