I tried for that other cel so many times but I was
always just a little late (or unlucky in the
dealer's lottery). I lost track of it after it was
sold last time, any clue where it's gone now?

This VHD cel that I just bought has rather worse
line fading than my other. It's something I've
noticed lately-- while the older cels that I added
to my collection a few years ago are still in
pretty good condition, there's alot of fading in
the older series cels that I've been buying recently.
