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.
