Re: Melting/Dissolving Cels (aka &*%&(* Vinegar Syndrome)

Thanks for the commiseration everyone. This is one of the few places where my screeching about cels melting wouldn't just get blank looks. (Ands if this happened to my Evangelion or My Little Pony cels you'd probably hear my screaming through the computer screen) After the cels finish airing out (an...

Melting/Dissolving Cels (aka &*%&(* Vinegar Syndrome)

So today I was in the midst of rebagging cels when I came across two of them from my collection that had half liquified. Yes, it was the cataclysmic conclusion to Vinegar Syndrome . Both of these are from the 1980s American cartoon She-ra and they look far worse in person than in the photos I snappe...

Re: Official Evangelion Reproduction Cels?

Thanks for the further information, Quackers! I'm still going through the 800,000+ hits that "複製" "セル" "エヴァンゲリオン" (Reproduction, Cel, Evangelion) brings up on Google (and unfortunately a lot of them link to broken images *shakes fist*) but I managed to dig up this Yahoo...

They weren't kidding about closing right at the end of the month. The site's already down (and I was in the middle of going through their cel inventory too) I always meant to pick up a couple of their El Hazard cels too. /sob

An entire shipment of key master Tenshi ni Narumon cels was lost in transit to me. It upset me enough that I actually stopped buying cels for a year afterwards. http://www.darkluna.com/missing/nyc925-img600x499-1197609340tensi_60.jpg Cel Two Cel Three Cel Four A Prince Endymion (Sailor Moon) cel was...

This is actually the first year where sequence mates to past winners haven't been allowed. Previously it'd been no past winners and then no close sequence mates in the same category within the same year. I don't think every last detail needs to be polled though, since some rule details tend to chang...

You're very welcome. Yup! That’s who he is. :D I was so surprised to see him 8O as not many people know about that series. Yeah, back when I got this cel years ago, there was a dearth of information on the anime. There was a bit available on the SNES game and a "oh, by the way, there's an an...

Perhaps our last post wasn't clear. ^__^ Regarding signed cels: If, however, a signed cel is being entered into another category, such as rage, the signed portion of the cel cannot be included in the scan. It could be seen as an unfair advantage. This is one of the past winners of the Creature cate...

Is that who he is? (And google confirms, nameless bishy is nameless no more...) I played a little bit of the Armored Police Metal Jack game, but never saw any of the TV series, so I've been at a bit of a loss when it comes to that beautiful cel. Thanks, knowing his name helps with researching a lot ...

This is just semantics. :shrug Back in 2005 the categories were 'Best Mecha', 'Best Animal', Best whathaveyou. Just drop the 'Best' if that's going to be a problem and call it Set-up or Scene or Over-all Composition or [insert proper term here]. It was proposed as a catch-all for all those multi-par...

I'll toss in a suggestion for Best Scene/Set-Up/Composition concentrating on the overall aesthetic of a complete setup (instead of being focused on something raging/being actiony/otherwise expressing another category) I'll also agree with making the categories Mecha and Original Art more inclusive. ...

Highest bid was ~110000 yen on THIS Sailor Neptune/Uranus A1 End cel and I didn't win (was the underbidder by ~100 yen). I would have bid more too, but I hit my limit on SMJ and couldn't raise it in time. Still looking for that cel...
