I think it was already said somewhere else in this 
discussion that the cel is a reflection image - so 
obviously, the scar would appear on the other side 
of the face. Thus, the cel IS perfect - it appears 
exactly as it should, given the context of the 
scene...

But consider for a moment, when you come across a 
cel that actually does have a mistake in it. Given 
the assumption that you know the cel is authentic 
(not a copy), wouldn't the mistake make it ~MORE~ 
valuable than a regular cel of that character? I 
mean, think about it...When a mint makes coins or 
paper currency, these are objects with an assigned 
certain value; but when a mistake is made, say on 
a very small amount of coins, the messed up coins 
become very valuable and highly sought after. 
Likewise, if a mistake is made in the printing of 
some packaging for a product, like a toy, then 
those few pieces that have the mistake usually 
become much more valuable than comparative items 
without the mistake...Why? Because the few that 
were incorrectly produced are RARE!

So, think about finding a production CEL with a 
mistake in it...It may be the ONLY one like it; or 
at the least, one of only a very few. That rarity 
would seem to logically increase the value of that 
cel...And IF the cel at Usagi's House was actually 
such a cel, then I think she could have easily 
asked a lot more for it...

Sorry to get a bit off topic, but I though some 
others might like to ponder on this.
