Hmmmm, little misunderstanding here! I meant to 
say the increasing value of a cel will make a 
owner feel good or even better about a cel, in 
addition to the owner already love the cel for 
it's looks. Wouldn't you feel good to know if the 
price on your favorite cel when up instead of 
keep going down? 

What you said about buying nice cel for cheap 
prices sound really good. However, not I have an 
expensive taste, but nice cels for my favorite 
characters are just expensive. Like I said 
before, prices does go along with the cels' 
quality. I would love to buy Evangelion cels of 
Rei for like $200, but where can I find something 
like that? Well, I will sure feel *damn* special 
if I do! 

I see that you are one of those collectors that 
don't care about the value of your collector's 
items at all. Well, if that's the case, good for 
you(in the nicest way). For me, I care about the 
value, and how much I love the show or character. 
Lowering of the value won't make me sell a cel, 
but it will sure make me unhappy!

"seeing a "low end" favorite cel of 
someone who has a lot to say about that cel is 
*MUCH* more interesting than seeing someone 
showing off a bunch of flashy "high end" cels 
just so they can show off."

Yeah, that's true, if the person with the high 
end cels are in fact showing off. If he's not 
showing off, I would much prefer to see his cels. 
Like Yann, he's got some really nice and high end 
cels, and he's not showing off, just wanted to 
share with us. In this case, I love to see his 
high end cels over and over. I think all cel 
collectors have the same purpose in mind. That is 
to first please themselves with their collection, 
and this should be the only reason in fact. So, 
just because someone has some high end cels, 
doesn't mean they are showing off. May be nice 
shots of their favorite characters are rare and 
expensive, like the case with me!

Smiling back at ya!
