I am a cel collector. I follow the "oath" 
and "pledge" I took once I decided to carry this 
tremendous responsibility, title, and role as 
the..*drum roll please*

---ANIME CEL COLLECTOR!! My credo goes as follows:

1.) I collect only original production cels, 
genga, or douga. Safe and dry land..purist 
extraordinare! "Can't touch this"...
("MC Hammer" plays in the background....oh yeah, 
I forgot he went bankrupt)

2.) I collect only original Hankens, creator 
drawings, or sketches (if only I had the money)

3.) I ABSOLUTELY never sell my cels, damn it...

(well, *cough,cough* almost) 

I NEVER EVER,EVER...

Collect those nasty fan cels, reproductions, or 
the like, because they are not production cels or 
original work that I can view on my TV screen on 
at the movies. I am a pure collector, lets get it 
straight pal! ^-^ those suckers better be moving 
for at least 5 minutes. Who would want something 
so beautiful, clean, and hand-painted anyway? 
They gotta be fake!

I never add a non-production background with a 
cel, unless it's a laser copy of the original. 
How dare they alter an original work, even if 
does look better, Umph!

I never post links or addresses on auctions of 
cels that may be of great interest, because doing 
so would may possibly hurt a collector that will 
be or has bid on the cel by increasing the 
competition for that cel or cels.So, I go ahead 
and bid on them myself, hehe.

I never intentionally respond to newbie questions 
if they can find out the information on their own 
with a bit of searching. Lazy brats! ^-^ muhahaha.

Btw, I like to say "muhahahaha", a lot.

I create my own web page, because sites that let 
you follow a set pattern, are easy to set up, but 
look all the same, just turn me off and I 
consider not very creative for hosting cels on a 
gallery (*humph*)..Can somebody help me with this 
html??

I never reveal my resources, to keep my goodies 
coming only to me if possible.( and the 86 other 
people thinking the same thing)

I have no care whatsoever if my best friend wants 
a "dream cel" for the same cel that I want on an 
auction and the price soars because I want it a 
little more than she does. I feel like that's 
life get over it, or get some more loot, or "hey, 
baby keep on dreaming"..but could you keep an eye 
out for me on that "blah, blah" cel,, gee thanks 
(*kiss*)

On the other hand I decided that I can justify 
selling all of my cels because I am getting 
married, and it is just a hobby afterall (*tongue 
in cheek*) See ya!!

"I" decided to quit because my mom,husband, 
boyfriend, neighbor down the street, found out I 
was using their credit card for buying 
cels,,,oops! (handcuffs, click, click...siren 
blows in the distance...)

disclaimer: this is a completely made up story, 
everything is fictional. I don't want some over 
sensitive collector taking this personally..

^-^
