I think it may be the other way around, at least 
for me. ^_^ I've had my shitajiki, my trading 
cards, my manga, my fansubs for much longer than 
I've been really focusing on expanding my cel 
collection. It might be easier to start off 
buying $.75 trading cards, or $6 manga, and work 
your way up to cels, rather than vice versa.
