This is Lance Heiskell from FUNimation. When 
FUNimation acquired Blue Gender, we also 
acquired many animation cels from the show. 
These cels were evaluated and graded by a 
professional cel dealer/collector. Cels were 
graded on an A, B, C and D level. Grade A cels 
were valued at $250. Grade C and D cels were 
valued at $20-$40. 

With this contest, I wanted to give the fans the 
best choice of animation cels from the show. So 
I chose 5 cels with an A grade. 

I am not an avid cel collector. I thought it 
would be a cool gift to fans who enjoy the show. 

That's it. No "baiting scheme" or "evil idea" 
here. Just something cool.
