Possible fake DBZ cel on eBay? (Wed Feb 20 00:57:46 2002 )

Some commentary on the following cel:

cel

As I own 2 cels from this sequence, plus having 
seen 2 other cels from this sequence in person, I 
have to express worry about the legitimacy of 
this cel. The cel looks somewhat real, the 
coloring was very carefully done, but I don't 
remember him looking quite like that ~without~ 
the aura (I don't have the eppy on tape / dvd ... 
can someone check??). In both my cels, the aura 
is definitely part of the Trunks cel layer, very 
little of the aura airbrushing is on a seperate 
layer (only the stuff that overlaps his jacket). 
Both my cels are more "yellowish" in tone, this 
one is "pinkish", plus the edges, hair, and lines 
look too perfect. In both of my cels the "chest" 
is painted incorrectly (black tanktop instead of 
skin) so there is a "chest" correction layer for 
each cel. I see no indication of a correction 
layer in this cel (and I think every cel I've 
ever seen from this sequence has a correction 
layer). Both of my cels are in excellent 
condition, but even in the nicest of cels you 
should see some black line "browning" due to the 
black-on-yellow which usually bleeds even when 
preserved well. I see none of that in this 
auction. Neither of my cels from this sequence 
are painted so "high" on the edges of the cel, it 
looks wrong.  The fact that the seller doesn't 
list production numbers or douga also worries me.

I know nothing about this particular seller, but 
I would exercise caution before buying this cel.
