Actually caught a cel of this cartoon right here 
in town. The Smithsonian institute did a tour 
through Vegas of pop culture icons and they had 
several wonderful cels. The SW cel was in very 
nice condition, save a bit of discolorization on 
the acetate. The fact is, the cel was probably 
not preserved with any real vigor until maybe 30 
year ago. So for 40 years it probably stayed in a 
box on the Disney lot or in someone's home. Now, 
think about your cels. They are maybe anywhere 
from 1-15 years old on average depending on the 
series. For a good period of time, they have been 
kept out of sounlight, in acid free containers 
and kept very clean. You do the math. I'd say 
these cels will last into the next century if you 
pass along your respect for the hobby to your 
kids and grandkids.
