Hi there,
I do love the image, which is why I dont want it 
now.....to me it's more saddening to keep the 
cel, and know it has the flaw.  And, it's also 
the fact that I was not made privy to the flaw 
before I spent a rather nice amount of money on 
it.  It was the perfect cel for me of this 
chracter, Im extremely dissapointed.  It's like 
getting a wishlist cel, only to find it's not in 
good shape.  It'd be different if I was made 
aware of the corrective layer, but I was not.  
Also, if the layers had been kept in their 
respective places, the chip wouldnt have 
occured.  Mistakes do happen, yes, but Im of the 
mind that if a professional animation house makes 
a mistake like that, they should spare time to go 
back and fix it properly.  Then again, these guys 
dont care about cel collectors, all they care 
about is making the deadline for a scene, which 
is totally understandable. I know how it goes, 
having done it myself. Im just sad that I paid 
that much for something I thought was just fine, 
but was not.  The cel is for sale now, but if no 
one buys it, then I guess I will just keep it and 
make the best of it.  It's quite depressing 
though, still.  I dont like damaged goods, no 
matter if it was fixed by the house or someone 
else, it's still not the way I wanted it.  Most 
likely though no one will want the cel, so I will 
keep it.
