I was just curious as to the decisions folks have 
to make when they bring their cels over to a 
convention for a cel gathering.

For instance, how many cel books do you usually 
take to such meetings?  Especially if you're 
flying into the convention; I'm sure that you 
don't want to overload the amount of luggage the 
airline allows you to carry without penalty fees.

On top of that, I find it a little tiring just to 
carry more than 2-3 full books to a meeting and 
back.  And even then I would typically just carry 
those cel books in a suitcase with rollers, since 
I may have to walk a good distance at the end of 
a long day of convention-ing.

Still, if I really limit the amount of cels I 
bring, how do I decide what people would like to 
see?  If I was a collector who concentrates on 
only a few anime titles, that wouldn't be a 
problem (since I'd just take my best cels).  But 
if I have a wide assortment of titles in my 
collection, that becomes more problematic?

Also, would people at these meetings really care 
about non-cel items that have been autographed?  
Examples would include signed pencil boards, 
signboards, & etc.  Or would you rather see more 
impressive looking cels that were not autographed?

These days I would prefer to just carry just 1-2 
books in a shoulder bag, so that means I would 
need to bring a small selection of stuff I think 
would hopefully please the most people.

What do you typically do in these cases?
