I got a cel package in the mail today. It was the 
same as always-- with my name on scrap paper 
taped to the celbags. And then I realized... hey, 
this scrap paper has a registration hole and a 
sequence number! ...And this one has bits of 
pencil sketch on the back! ...Hey, wait a minute, 
I know what these used to be!

I was kind of uncomfortable with that. Yeah, I 
know a lot of sketches aren't really that great. 
And a dealer probably has more of them lying 
around than you can shake a stick at. And if it's 
their sketch, they can keep it with the cel, or 
sell it separately, or shred it into hamster-cage 
lining, just like any of us can.

I'm sure they only use the really useless 
sketches as scrap paper, because they wouldn't 
want to destroy something they could sell-- and 
its theirs, anyways, so it's none of my business 
what happens to it-- but it still left me feeling 
a little uncomfy, especially knowing the volume 
of sales they work with.

So rather than saying "Such-and-such is a 
horrible person with no respect for sketches!", I 
guess my question is-- am I weird for feeling 
that way? :o)
