Two cels stand out in my mind as being a LOT 
nicer than I thought they would be. . .

The first is a cel from Vampire Princess Miyu of 
her and Reiha, and a minor character from one of 
the later episodes. It had been on Taro for 
almost a year (yes, a *year*) and I just found 
that I kept looking at it sitting there. So 
finally I had some spare chage and the dollar was 
strong, so I bought it. When it arrived, I found 
out is was a * * H U G E * * pan cel (I would 
have realized this if I'd thought about it, but I 
hadn't) and it was in beautiful condition. If I'd 
known it looked like this, I would have been 
paranoid to let it sit there for even a single 
second - much less a year!

The second is a cel of Gabriel, peeking out from 
behind some curtains, from Tenshi ni Narumon. I 
saw it sitting on Gambit's site and came back to 
it a couple times, but I hadn't seen any of 
Narumon, so I didn't get it. Once I'd seen the 
show, I decided to go back for the cel. It was 
cute and it wasn't expensive - so why not get it? 
Then it arrived and it's in STELLAR condidtion - 
you'd almost have to take a magnifying glass to 
this cel to find a flaw in it. The colors are so 
much brighter than the scan had looked, both the 
black and colored lines are clean, and to boot, 
one of the layers of the cel was an A1 End. I was 
VERY impressed!! It is still one of my favorite 
cels of Gabriel that I own - and still one of the 
least expensive. ^_^
