Framing cels is a great way to enjoy your cels by 
yourself and sharing with friends.

A few remarks. The first we ever went to have 
framed, the person wanted to cut the MATCHING 
background to make it "more suitable" for 
framing. We just about walked out to never 
return. Instead we asked for the person that 
would actually be doing the work. They had done 
other cels before (disney/wb), they understood 
the importance of not cutting it. 

Make sure the framer knows what you want -- they 
have special spacers and such to avoid bg contact 
with your cel, protection from the glass, and 
light. It is really awesome what they have. 
Despite that, keep the cel in a darker place 
(away from a lamp and window). Despite the best 
glass, it can still cause fading.

Also remember, except for those few who actually 
collect cels and watch anime most people could 
not tell you what a cel is. Next, I could see a 
cel and have no clue who it was, even though I 
have watched anime for years. If they went to 
research the cel, most of the people that they 
would come in contact would easily tell that they 
did not own it. Keep a list of your cels with 
noticeable characteristics. The cel number, 
condition, a picture of it, etc.

Besides, most people that see cels think of it as 
work you did or similar. Most cels are sold at 
conventions or over the internet (from my 
understanding). It is really hard to sell an item 
in that limited of a market. 

Just my 2 cents
