Hey, Everyone!  I had a quick question, that I hope 
someone can help me with.  I recently purchased a cel 
from the videogame, Xenogears.  There are two things 
about the cel that I wanted to confirm-- first of all, there 
are no registration holes, and no sequence #.  Now the 
person who sold it to me, puchased it from a Comiket in 
Japan, from a dealer that claimed that because most of 
the FMV scenes in the game were worked on digitally, 
many of the cels did not have sequence numbers.

Now despite the fact that the holes and sequence # are 
not on the cel, it came with a matching sketch...Looking 
at the cel, it looks authentic, with the lines having been 
transferred to the acetate in the traditional way.. I have 
even found the scene from the game that it is from.

*Whew*  After all that, what I really want to know is if 
anyone can confirm the fact that authentic Xenogears 
cels can be missing the registration holes and 
sequence #s.  Thanks!
