I dont know about that, 
but I know that Asylum had some GREAT ANC cels at 
the cons I went to, some not so good ones, and 
some really fabulous ones.  And they were not 
near as high as the ones from Taro, and the guy 
who owns Asylum said the deal wasnt cheap to get 
the cels.  He even had one of Aya and Toya's 
first kiss in the tree, with background, 
oversized, and it was about 375$ I think, which 
is a great price for the cel I think.  The ones 
on Taro, while they do have backgrounds, are much 
less impressive.  Some of the backgrounds, like I 
said, "Look everyone, I can make a blue wash with 
watercolors!"  The guys from Asylum also had some 
high prices, but only on the cels that were truly 
worth it, like on the really nice Toya cels, 300$ 
was about right.  Most of the nice ones were 
around 250-280.  Who knows, Im just comparing 
now, Im not really as mad about this as Id like 
to be.  I cant do anything about it, as you said, 
so, it's just interesting to see everyone else's 
opinions on this issue.  It seems to come up a 
lot lately....
