Yes, I'm also in the Quality camp - I've already
sold off almost all of my "lesser" cels- the ones
I kept have special other value to me. Example-
opening cel of miaka's back...nowhere near
centered :D
I did collect some cels which didn't really meet
my criteria for great cels but seemed like a good
deal, and I always ended up selling them pretty
quickly. I still have the first cel I bought, a
nice headshot with a wonderful expression, and
found that I keep cels like this and enjoy them
for a lot longer than other cels.
One thing about quality though- it does vary with
the individual. I happen to really enjoy cels of
my favorite characters angry or yelling, whereas
general cel collecting guidelines would say those
aren't top quality shots- they would go for a
more nuetral expression. For example- I don't
think I'd buy a cel of Tamahome (one of my all
time favorite characters to collect) with his
eyes open wide- I love him with his eyes
narrowed, and it's usally not a good cel for me
if they're not. |
