Well its good to know there are still people 
around my age collecting.  For me collecting came 
in stages.  I did massive purchase in a short 
period of time.  I guess I was lucky enough to 
have the available resources to buy my prized 
rare cels costing thousands in a matter of few 
months at the time.  In addition maybe due to the 
fact that I'm not crushed for cash to pay bills, 
education, etc... I have the luxury not to sell 
one cel that I have purchased.

But I can agree that over time, one gets picky on 
what they want and strive for rarer harder to 
find cels.  It is when one collector loses total 
interest and plans to liquidate is when those 
rare dieing to have cels appear for sale and an 
opportunity rises to get them.

I do commend all of those that are still 
collecting beyond the 30's and for over 5 years 
^_^.  It takes determination and the love for the 
art to do that.

still watching a majority the fansub animes which 
keeps me upto date on potential cels out there 
(which seems less and less due to CG)
