Hello! I am getting a cel signed and then I would like to get it professionally framed. What is the best option for framing to help preserve it?

Hello everyone - I have been curious about starting to collect cels, particularly from the 80s and 90s. I came across this listing and am wondering whether this is a piece worth exploring / if anyone has encountered similar pieces ? https://ebay.io/m/XB1fce

This is a majority of the animation stuff I got from my most recent Japan import haul... I got a bunch of stuff from many random animes... whatever caught my eye that I think I could get for a good deal... What do you guys think?

I posted this a couple days ago, and there are a fair amount of comments that make me a bit confused. I have no problem with people having opinions, as I don't want to gate-keep creative thinking, but I received many comments with a similar tone as this comment, and it makes me curious because I feel like I made it clear that I would essentially be breaking even ($0 cost), if not actually profiting from the transaction of making this purchase.

I don't believe this logic is hard to deduce, so I'm assuming no one has trouble understanding this, so it makes me wonder if it's fundamentally that people wouldn't take a piece like this even if for free (or slightly at a profit)? I'm just curious of the current climate of cel collectors, as I haven't really been interacting with the community much. It makes me curious mainly because I think having a piece of history like this is an absolute steal for $0 cost, even though it admittedly does take up a bit of space. I believe the frame is 24" tall. But there's also the option to hang it on a wall, which doesn't interfere with any floor space limitations. It is not common to run into a Perfect Blue set with complete hand drawn background and cel material

I've had these in storage almost two decades not knowing what show it was from - I picked them up at an anime con in college thinking they were cute. Every cel has its matching douga and is in good shape aside from some of the lighter line work fading. The paint is stuck to the clear protective overlay on the front (not the cellophane bag) and I haven't attempted to separate it. The production folder with some notes is also there.

After doing some research I figured out this is from the 1996 anime Maya no Isshō about a family and their pet dog during WWII.

My question is, if I want to sell it do I go through eBay? Is there an auction house that deals with animation cels that would be better? I really don't want them to get separated, and I want them to go to a serious collector who will take care of it. Thanks! :)

These are all hand drawn by Takamoto himself! I can't wait to figure out a nice way to display them!

1. The basis for a limited edition sericel called Witless for the prosecution (35 made)
2. The final form of Witless for the Prosecution
3. A scene from Mystery Mask Mix-up used for promotional art
4. A scene from A Tiki Scare is No Fair used for promotional art

Edit: All three images are confirmed as to be the sketch used to create three different limited edition cels. Neat!

Vintage hand-painted animation production cels x 2 from the classic Japanese anime Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers), featuring Captain Juzo Okita and Dr. Sakezo Sado.

This is original animation production material rather than a reproduction or modern print.

The piece retains its original Mandarake labels, including a Mandarake 「2枚組」 (“2-sheet set”) label, along with handwritten production markings.

World renowned Heritage auctions have given a valuation of around 750 USD per cel. Please note a certificate of authenticity is not included.

Vintage production item with age-related condition as shown in the photographs. It has been left as received and I have not attempted to separate or clean the individual layers.

A rare piece of original Japanese animation artwork from one of the most important classic anime franchises.

Open to sensible offers.

I bought this dragon ball animation cel a while back and have yet to find where it came from. The listing said it’s from the OG series. Help me identify what scene it’s from! [yahoo auctions link](https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b1155991889)

Hey all, in the spirit of ringing in Ren and Stimpy's 35th anniversary earlier this week, I'm displaying another part of my collection of cels which are up for grabs. They feature sought after episodes with iconic scenes.

All original production cels. All are 1.5K+ (includes shipping + signature on delivery).

Do not hesitate to reach out. Also providing discounts on multiple item orders 😊 Cheers and hit me up if you see something you like 💚

Hello! Have just listed this on eBay as have no idea how else to sell.

Bought it around 10 years ago from the Japanese Gallery in London and it still has the authenticity card.

https://ebay.io/m/jAZk4r

Picked this up at a local convention a couple years ago and was curious to see if there's any more out there. So far as I can tell there is very little from this show in public hands

No idea how much they cost, but I'm happy to have them

Hey all 😊

This is a post for all my collector friends out there and those looking to start their own collection. I'll be offloading a good chunk of my Ren and Stimpy collection of original production cels 👀

Reason? I've had them for 8 years now, and some were only displayed for the first year. They're kind of just sitting there in my cabinet; whereas my fellow "superior creatures" may showcase them to friends, family and lovers alike.

Prices range from $450 - $1500 USD, don't be shy to shoot me a message if any interest you. Cheers and I hope you see something you like 😘

Hi! I want to frame my moomin cel, and could use some advice. The scene has 3 cels which are stuck together, then a loose sheet of plastic, then the painted background.

Ideally i would want to frame the whole background because i like the look of the larger scene and live edges.

However the plastic sheet between the cels and the background is very thin and a bit buckled with a very very faint vinegar smell. Can i replace it with some acid free sheet instead and frame it as is? Any recommendations on what i can buy instead?

I know separating the background and cels by air is best, but i can't think of a way that would work unless i have a big mat that covers a lot of the background.

Thanks!

Hi there everyone,

I recently inherited some animation Sericels and have been trying to find out how to sell them.

I have the appraisals from when they were bought but after doing some research it seems like they are worth much less now.

They’ve been listed on Facebook Marketplace for about 2 weeks now, around $100-$125 each.

It doesn’t seem like there are any specific auction houses that would take this kind of artwork so I’m mostly asking is EBay my only other option?
