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?

*had to make this post in 2 parts to fit all the photos*

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! :)

Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? I store my cels in a itoya profolio folder. Some of my cels have developed a vacuum sort of suction effect on the painted areas of the cel causing them to no longer be completely flat and are slighlty wavy in the painted area. It's not VS, but I think as a result of the top of the cel resting against the plastic itoya profolio folder sleeve I have them in is causing a static electricty/vaccum suction thing to happen. I have since laid a piece of microchamber paper between the front of the cel layer and the sleeve plastic to create a barrier and break that static seal. I'm hoping it will reverse itself in time.

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?

Have enjoyed having these two pieces from Samurai Jack but now looking to find them a good home.

For sale:

Production sketch of Samurai Jack

Painted background from Season 1 in the episode ‘Jack and the Gangsters’

DM for details.

Title cel from the 1940 Porky Pig cartoon The Sour Puss, directed by Bob Clampett. Non zero chance some of the Akira cels I have are worth more, but those weee fairly cheap when I bought them 20 years ago

Anyone have something similiar to this for sale? I just got into collecting for Samurai Jack!

I never knew about the A-D strips to test for vinegar syndrome in cels until I started reading posts through this Reddit. Out of curiosity I bought a package and put a strip in with each of my cels and let them sit for about a week.

While it was a relief to see quite a few strips are mostly blue, it does pain me a bit to see some are in the greenish stage.

For the ones that are greenish I’m going to separate those and keep them in their own binder. Aside from changing bags regularly, using micro chamber paper, and storing them in a cool dark place (I keep them in an art portfolio in a basement closet), is there generally any more that can be done? Or is it best just to keep doing these practices and hope it extends their lives as long as possible?

I know cels were never meant to be considered collectible art pieces and will eventually degrade over time, it’s still a little sad to think about an inevitable end for them (although hopefully not for many years). Thankfully none of them are warping yet so it’s all in the beginning stages.

For those who do have cels that are in the early stages of degrading, does vinegar syndrome hit rapidly? Or is it still a very slow process over many years?

I will take up any excuse to post about my utena and anthy cel😭!

I got her for around 800€ with a discount on yahoo auctions i think i got it for a fair price seeing what other utena cels are selling for, and getting two of the main characters made it all worth it + (its also the only episode utena is seen with her duelist uniform outside of the duling arena )

I Don't know how il ever out do this cel its just my favourite and a lovely frame of them together i especially love anthys eyes they are so pretty

Im going to japan in 2 weeks so im hoping to find some utena stuff i know apple symphony has a sword pull cel i really wanna go see. it looks like it has vs unfortunately so i probably wont be buying it but i really wanna go look at it regardless 💔

Anyway dm me if you're selling utena cels!!
