How can having fewer cels in the marketplace make
cel collecting less exciting? For me one of the
best things about this hobby is the thrill of the
chase. I also collect because I love my favorite
show and it is great to have an original part of
it. That show is over 20 years old so I don't
really care about new anime being produced. If a
lack of new cels in the marketplace makes my cels
more valuable great, but that is not the reason
why I collect. I can see a shift in collecting
for new anime from cels (since they are CG now)
to other production art like storyboards and
character design sketches. I think this will be
the way to go if you want to collect something
original from a newer anime. |
