....is because every cel is unique.  I also 
collect rare toys (which can suck the money out of 
ya), but at least once I get that 15" Yamato with 
sound and light features, I'm DONE.  I've got it.

If I'm looking for Yamato CELS, that can go on and 
on.  I might find a near-perfect bow shot.  But 
then I'll find a broadside shot.  Or a battle 
shot.  Or another bow shot that is a few frames 
away from my first one, but is still better....

It's so very hard to be DONE.  Some folks only 
collect one cel of each character they like, but 
they are in the minority.  Most of us are 
gluttons.  ;-)

Add to that the fact that every cel you see for 
sale is the first and last occurrence of that 
particular cel.  Sure, you may find it's sequence 
mates, but that particular cel is gone.  That 
adds some urgency to it.  If you pass on it, it 
may be gone forever.

Yeah, it can be nuts.  I know.
