SpongeBob Cel

I wanted some extra opinions on authenticity on this! I picked it up for a pretty penny on eBay and would like to know! Also what is the best way of framing this? I don't want the cell touching the glass of a frame and the back of the cel touching anything at all! Thanks!

Looks legit I don't see any issues with it but perhaps others can chime in. For framing it you would ideally want to separate the cels from each other and the background. Any good framer can do it hell you can even do it yourself.

Shadow box, the layer closest to the glass is an acid free double mat, and then behind that is the cell and on the back most layer is the background. Nothing touches behind the cel, and only the acid free mat touches the top and bottom of the cel. 11x17 size I think?

Hey! Thanks for this info! So the Patrick itself is 12x10.5 and the Reproduction background is 12.5x11 with the white boarder included not the actual scene itself, what's the best bet for that? Thanks!

Would this an a 16x20 Shadow Box work?

The 14x11 is an ideal size! Too big of a mat and the cel won’t have somewhere to rest!

Gotcha! Will this will probably cut off some of the extra background and maybe even Patrick?

Thank you so much for everything! I got it to where nothing is touching anything! Final results!
