The cel might not actually be taped to the
background at all; I find that a lot of the cels
I bought from private Japanese collectors (as
opposed to dealers) are bagged beyond all
recognition--the cel is in at least one bag
(depending on how many layers it has, there may
be several bags keeping it unstuck), and the
background is quite often in another. The two
are often taped together so they don't slide
around. I'm not sure if that's the case in this
one, but it definitely seems possible--the tape
seems like it's stuck to plastic, not to paper.
So I would definitely bid, because I'd really
regret letting something cool go just because of
a little tape. |
