Bebop Cels prices have gone up considerably over 
the past 12 months
One need only watch the prices on Yahoo Japan. 
Ebay etc.

Bebop is one of the most popular anime series 
currently. (Deservedly so IMHO)
Popularity   26 Episodes only = Doomy Cel Prices

What continues to get me are the reeedeeekuloos 
amounts paid for cels of some characters in 
series spanning 100  episodes. Not to point any 
fingers.

The prices now are what we pay (me included) for 
getting aboard the wagon late.
