Well one of the first anime that ever struck my
interest when I started to collect cels was
Samurai Troopers.  I had seen ST several years
before that but I hadn't a clue about cels.  Well
anyhow, I'm rambling here, my favorite character
from ST is Anubis..I sure know how to pick them, I
found out real fast that he just happens to be
very hard to find cels of - and I had no hope of
ever seeing the cel from this scene for sale.

Well one day I decided to look on ebay, I was
bored, and boredom tends to lead me into spending
too much money *l*.  I was browsing along just
looking at cels (I always tell myself I'm just
going to look) and to my utter shock there was my
cel.  I couldn't believe it.  I was determined to
get it at any cost, it did go a little high but
not even close to what I had expected it to ;)

This is anubis fighting one of Talpa's henchmen on
one of his boats (I wish I had the background). 
The scene was shown over and over on Cartoon
Networks previews and I remember thinking I would
love to have that cel.
