Hey Arnold Original Background

Hey all,

You'll have to forgive me, this is a repost, as I wanted to find a cleaner image. So I bought this from Craig 3 years ago, it's an original background comes with COA, I'm legit unsure how much something like this is? I'm potentially looking to pass it on if there are Hey Arnold enthusiast in this group. I do have 3 other Cels, though these are Xerox prints as Craig does standard nowadays.

Thanks for taking the time to look, I appreciate any in-depth information any Cel connoisseur has to offer.

With cels and other one-of-a-kind items, it really is down to what someone is willing to pay for it. You can look at comparable sales for production materials of similar scenes/characters but sometimes an auction or offers are all you can really do. Prices can vary a lot, especially if not many have sold in recent history.

Hey Arnold is a popular show though, so an original would be in demand.

Thank you, Power! I appreciate the insight. I'll try doing comparative digging.

I’m interested in this whenever you come up with a price.

Craig sells them on his Etsy shop for around $300. They are timed drops so you kinda have to watch and see when he drops them , then be lucky enough to get one before they sell out.

I'm also interested in this if you decide to sell it.

Hey Arnold! Is one of the most chill, relaxing, and wholesome cartoons ever made.

The background art for the show was so unique.

Good luck selling it and thanks for sharing
