Cels Forum

Dear Anime fans, fellow Otaku, and cel collectors,

My name is Frank Pannone and I am the Cel Curator for Central Park Media. Firstly I'd like to thank Mr. Stettler for having this forum set up so as to discuss issues that are of valid concern within the cel collecting community. I have long admired his site as being a fine source of information about my profession and hobby.

I would like to use this forum to discuss the concerns that Mr. Stettler had about item #165148998 posted on Ebay 09/15/99, 12:40:52 PDT 

The easiest way to make my point is to post the original language used on the auction posted on E-bay:

Hand Pntd Anime Cel / Lemnear / Very Detailed 
Item #165148998 

Hand Painted Anime artwork!!
character from the series "Legend Of Lemnear"

Lemnear is shown in a Hand-Painted copy of the gorgeous 
portrait that was used for the cover of the American release of
Legend Of Lemnear #4. This piece is 100134650952nique. It is hand
painted and imported from one of the actual animation studios
in Korea that are used to create many well-known Animes.

The artwork presented on this oversize cel is amazingly 
well-detailed and difficult to appreciate via the web!This
is not an original production cel, the quality is FAR
SUPERIOR! The colors, and precise line work are perfect
and without equal.

Hand-painted Anime artwork 16.25" H X 10.5" W

I received a few e-mails from Mr. Stettler voicing his concern about misleading the customer.  I would like to address his concerns, because some of them led to some good suggestions.
