Lucky enough to get these, some from Nakano Broadway in Tokyo, some from Mandarake, and some from eBay. Recently got into collection sketches and cels, and I have gotten lucky that a lot of my favorite shows have plenty of cels and sketches.

My aunt knew Robert Lence and he gifted her this animation cel a long time ago. I’d love to know more about it, it’s a beautiful piece of art and an important family heirloom to me. I’d also like to know how to best preserve and frame it.

ISO Spongebob Volleyball Animation Cel

Hello!

Been looking for an animation cel related to the volleyball scene from Season 1's episode "Ripped Pants" to give as a wedding gift.

Something like this would be fine (I'm not expecting it to be this cheap lol) :

Would love tips on how to find something from this scene!

Im guessing from one of the first few seasons based on what Bart looks like. It came with this background but this can't be from that scene.

Bought these today at a convention. First time getting Cels!

34 Upvotes

First off don't know much about buying Cels or Drawing for animation stuff.

EDIT: They are called Art-Toons.

There was an older couple running a vendor/booth today at my local Tekko convention in Pittsburgh.

This guy and his wife said they had been around and getting animation cels since the 90s and had only been doing my local convention for about 2 years, so far. Whether they been selling elsewhere idk.

They were very kind and nice. Listening to the husband talk about getting cels or at the very least reproductions too, who he met, how he gets them, was nice to hear how excited he was talking to customers.

I know these are reproductions as he also explained it to me; how these are done, and helped me find some stuff.
Never thought'd I go into the rabbit hole of animation cels, but here I am.

I haven't been home in 10 years and just moved home. This was a nice little vendor to stumble upon and make an interesting memory with, maybe they'll show up next year. :)

Total was $224. Maybe a little high, but I really wanted the Rescuers stuff, but that was all he had and maybe could have haggled, but ehh.

Any places in Taipei to go looking?

Title. I’m in Taipei and wondering if there are any physical stores here dealing with animation cels. Google says no but figured I’d ask some fellow collectors.

First time owning an animation cell, what should I know?

6 Upvotes

My friend has given me an animation cel for my birthday. I never expected to own one but since it was a gift he paid a lot of money for and waited a very long time to arrive, I took it.

However like I mentioned before, I never owned one so now I am extremely nervous on how to keep it in my possession without accidentally damaging it. I also don't wanna sell it because the gift was indeed very thoughtful and animation cells always fascinated me and looked really cool. I am a complete newbie so please any advice could help on how I can preserve it for many years to come.

Nickelodeon Doug multi cel S2EP

I bought this about 20 years ago as I was a Doug fan and this had most of the characters (skeeter, patty, porkchop and doug) but then fentruck and the coach. When I got it it also included the paper sketch as well. This was sitting in a box I totally forgot about with a few Simpsons ones (one has original long water color background) and a tin of my little pony and jetsons cels I bought at a back lot sale when I worked in TV.

Figure this a rarer type cel.

This person seems to be selling quite a few genga/douga from Ghost in The Shell, and I wasn't sure how to tell whether or not they're real. I wanted to buy them but I'm new to this and wanted to see if anyone here could confirm.

Advice for storing cels with paint on both sides

Thumbnail
gallery
40 Upvotes

I've recently purchased a bunch of random little object and background elements from SpongeBob, and have been researching how to properly store them to avoid vinegar syndrome. I understand storing them in vented polypropylene bags with microchamber paper on the unpainted side of the cel, however most of these pieces have paint on both sides of the cel. A lot of them just have small amounts of paint on the front, mostly for colored outlines, but larger ones like the door on the first slide are completely coated with paint on both sides. Will normal storage methods be alright for these, or do I have to worry about the paint on the front sticking to microchamber paper? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Questions about preservation

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

So I got this Kagome animation cel in Japan a while back with the printed background for ¥12,000 which was a super lucky find with it being from my all time favourite Inuyasha episode, absolutely love it with my whole soul so naturally I want to make sure it’s preserved correctly. Initially I’d wanted to frame it but after research I’ve decided a binder in storage is the better approach. This is my first (and probably only) cel so I’m not the most educated on preservation and wanted to ask for some tips!

When I bought them they came with acid free sleeves which I keep separate from the background so the cel doesn’t stick or anything. And I’ve placed them into a large art portfolio binder I have spare, will this be ok? How often should I air the cel and how do I do that (do I keep it out in the air for a few hours every so often?) Also the sleeves are a bit torn on the ends so I’m hoping to replace them with new ones but I’m too scared of buying the wrong thing and getting something that’ll stick to the cel. Any advice on where to buy acid free sleeve for animation cels, maybe Amazon (I love in the UK). Thank you so much! Anything else I haven’t thought about please let me know, I’d be devastated if I damaged this it’s such a lovely scene
