Sure, other items can have a higher value because
they are hard to find. I am just saying that
limited edition cels are 1) hand painted 2)
produced in very limited quantity 3) each copies
of them need a lot of work.
So they may not be the same as a production cel
but they are certainly more valuable than a
poster.
Promotional posters, lithography or whatever else
are mass produced (even if in small quantity) and
there isn't more work involved in producing 1 or
producing 10000.
I am sorry but I don't think that you can compare
those two kind of produces.

Humm... the only reason they are hard to find is
because they were released long ago. (and not
because there is only a small quantity).
And the only reason they are expensive is because
you don't buy them from a second-hand shop in
Japan. (where they aren't worth much)
Promo posters are _given_ to customers in shops.
They are printed in large quantity. It's only when
they are old that they may be harder to find.
