With just 2 full cel books working on a third.
But I'm satisfied. I got gypped a few times
early on, but then I took a chance and got a few
really nice cels early on too. Wouldn't change a
thing ... well ... no ... nada.
Compared with other things people can and do
collect, it is fun, and it's a
comparatively economical passion still, compared
with those insane "limited edition" items--
ceramic dolls, Thomas Kinkaid ("The Painter of
Light") lithos, and Franklin Mint plates--people
in this area throw a lot of money to collect.
They don't take up room to store, they are one-of-
a-kind, and if you know the anime series well,
they are a living piece of the action, which you
can never say about the "limited edition" crap.
I guess I'm damned to be a long-term collector. |
