For me, one of the great pleasures of collecting
cels is to have other people admire them. Of
course, I could steal a cel and have a bunch of
locals look at it and say, "Gee ... it's
perty ... is that plastic it's painted on? ...
that's almost as nice as mom-mom's 25th
anniversary of Elvis's death commemorative
limited edition felt portrait."
But that's nothing like having other collectors I
admire tell me that I've made a strong purchase.
And if it were stolen, then I'd expect, sooner or
later, one of them to know this.
Or I could just collect it and get it out once
every six months and gloat over it ... but again,
what would be the point?
So ... no but can't help checking Rallihir's
back window one more time to see if he left it
unlocked. |
