Yes, it's in the eye of the beholder.  I can see 
both sides to it.  There's something really 
unique about having the cel in all of it's 
original glory... But..on the other hand, if the 
glory is damaged, and when I say damaged I mean 
it in the truest sense of the word, Id rather 
have it fixed.  Truth be told, when fixing 
something is done properly you cant even tell it 
was fixed.  Like with old cars. When they're 
newly painted and reworked they look marvelous!  
I just posted all this info because Im so picky 
about my cel's line quality.  I wont buy a cel if 
the line fading is bad enough, I dont care how 
nice a shot it is.  Its a personal preference.  I 
only have a couple of cels with fading.  One of 
them is one of my best cels. Its just so 
saddening to me to see that it has that damage, 
which might be easily fixed, and undetectable to 
the untrained eye.  Who knows, Im suffering brain 
freeze right now.  I just hope this info can at 
least help some of you guys with questions about 
lines, paint, framing, storage etc.  This is 
valuable information for every collector.  Enjoy!
