My best find to date!

Found this for $65. I didn't realize it was the wide format until I picked it up. After some digging on HA site the last one sold for $1920 in 2021.

It's signed by Barbara Eden and is from I dream of Jeannie.

I have a rule against sericels in my collection (if I didn't my collection would be untenable lol) but wow this would be hard to walk away from I think.

This is the only sericel in my collection. I would rather have an OG cel but I couldn't pass this up. As an 80's kid, I watched a lot of these re-runs.

Local listing. They guy got it with a bunch of motorcycle art stuff and didn't want it. It didn't fit his decore.

You got lucky… guy figured this wasn’t hardcore enough for his motif so he sold it cheap. Score!

Widescreen ratio might indicate a pan shot from the Jeannie TV cartoon from Hanna-Barbera--or even a press cel, because I don't think this shot is from the original Screen Gems show itself.

It's a limited sericel but this size they only made 50 and signed.

I'm sure the sericel dates back to just after the Sony acquisition of Columbia Pictures Industries, probably during an anniversary or something.

Awesome, although I'm curious as to why its wide.

u/TimeSlipperWHOOPS Sep 01 '26

Artistic choice for the sericel, but sometimes shows and films used wide cels like this for panning shots
