Perhaps that's true here and there, but I doubt 
it's true most of the time. I have only *once* 
posted cels in my gallery without captions, and 
quickly decided I hated it that way. Is the 
information necessary? No. Maybe no one will care 
what I have to say about the cels. Those people 
are welcome to skip the descriptions.

I always identify the character and anime from 
which the cel comes. I also note if a background 
is original and/or known to be matching. After 
that, I enjoy including little anecdotes about my 
cels with the scans. If you do read my captions, 
you'll find I don't spend the whole page gushing 
about the beauty of the cels. I love including 
stupid facts about my collection as a whole, or 
interesting stories about the cels (which may or 
may not directly have anything to do with the cel 
itself).

Information isn't only for selling. I think it 
makes it more interesting. Think about it. . . 
How often do you see an art museum which displays 
no information on the pieces in it's collection?
