Why not? :o)

It's unlikely that anyone's going to pursue 
anything rabidly that they haven't seen or don't 
care for.  And yet, if a character design catches 
your fancy, or a particular image really jumps 
out at you and says, "Give me a home!" and you 
have the fundage available--- why not?

Otherwise, the argument will start sliding 
towards the old "should cels should go to the 
biggest fans" debate, and that's just wrong. I've 
lost out on cels that I've wanted soooooo badly 
to people who have "random cute girl" 
collections. But because they got there faster-- 
or because they bid higher than I was willing to 
go-- the cel ended up theirs. Did they want the 
cel as much as I did? Did it mean more to them 
than it meant to me? Probably not. But were they 
willing to pay more to get it? Yes. And so the 
cel's their's, and I move on with my search. ^_^

So whether the situation is a matter of someone 
stumbling across a series that's little-known and 
never fansubbed or licensed, with a very small 
fanbase--- or if the situation is a matter of 
someone buying up all the cels of a popular 
series that they're the only person on the planet 
who's never seen it... it doesn't matter.

As long as they can afford it, no one has to 
justify the perameters of their collection or 
whether or not they're worthy enough to do what 
they want to. :o)
