The cel is marked as a reproduction cel, once, 
and I had to look for it to find it. It's not a 
very easy description to read.  Like, 
y'know 'this cel is this big, has one layer, no 
background' then a few lines down 'reproduction 
cel' is noted but by then you're looking at the 
picture. Kindof 'strategic placing' if you get 
the drift

When I do auctions I put 'repro' or 'fancel' in 
the title then like four or five times in the cel 
description, because I used to get people who 
would bid on the cel, win, and then be 
like 'what?  that's a fancel?  Really?  Wow 
could've fooled me.  Oh, by the way, I don't 
collect fancels, so do I still have to pay?'

The part that pisses me off is that I'm pretty 
sure the cel was cropped to remove my signature, 
which I explicity told the person when they 
commissioned the cel I was putting on there so it 
couldn't ever be confused for a real cel.  So if 
the person buys it and isn't sure it's real, and 
then sells it off again as a real cel (and in 
this particular series if they sold it off again 
it might go for nearly $1,000)... Cel collectors' 
worst nightmare.  

I REALLY don't want that to happen... sigh.
