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

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.

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.
