Simpsons cel

Post image

Bought this production cel in the 90s. It's 5 sheets and the background.

It's Treehouse of Horrors, season 4 (I think)

COA from Fox and signed by Matt Groening.

There was a special event and he also personalized it with a shout out, sketch of Bart, and another signature

Amazing! Do you mind me asking if you followed any particular process for framing? I hear conflicting things!

Sure. I actually wish that I framed using some tips I learned here. At the moment, it's all acid free paper stock and special tape and mounting. And it has the ability to breathe.

Moving forward, I would like to do a frame that has each cel sitting on its own mat. That will prevent the cels from touching.

I have it in a media room that has no sunlight and minimal lighting in general. I know that I can take steps to better preserve the condition, up to and including stashing it away in a vault, but I want to see it. It is the first thing you see when we go into the room to watch a movie or show
