That has to one of the hardest aspects of this
hobby. Sure there are thousands upon thousands
of cels used to make a series/movie, and many of
them are very nice. But there are a select few,
from certain scenes that it seems that everyone
and their cousin wants. Then those few who have
been "blessed" enough to obtain that cel from one
of those ever coveted scene, "lock" them away
into their gallery, never to be sold. I've been
told that too many times it seems.
All I can say is that there is some hope into
obtaining those particular cels you want. I'm
sure you have heard this said over and over
again, that if you are patient long enough, you
will find another cel. Yes, I know that, that
saying is not always true, but sometimes it does
come true. For example, after about 18 months of
searching for a particular scene from Shamanic
Princess, and finding two cels from the scene in
other people collections; the exact cel I had
been looking for, was put up for sale. Cost me a
small fortune, but some things you just need to
splurge on. Another one of my "great" patience
is rewarded stories. I've been looking for a cel
from Lodoss OVA, where Deedlit is splashing water
on her face, since I saw the genga of it for sale
on Taros site over a year ago. I've seen one cel
from that scene, and I missed it. But another
cel appeared the other night, and I have the
confirmation now that it is mine. ^_^
Just keep on looking and waiting, I'm sure you
will find another cel from the same scene or
another that you want, that will make it all
worth it.
