Quality... (Mon Mar 18 11:22:00 2002 )

...at the beginning of my collecting career, I 
used to feel the way you did. But I learned very 
quickly ordering cels to justify shipping is the 
exact wrong thing to do, as I normally wasn't 
attached to those cels, and would try to sell 
them again not long after getting them, to no 
avail. Then, when dream cels would come up, I 
wouldn't have the money for them. And all I would 
see looking at my lesser cels was a wasted 
opportunity...if I had had restraint, the one cel 
I WANTED would have been mine. I mean, I felt 
nice having lotsa little cels, but after that it 
just seemed useless to be in the hobby if all I 
was gonna get was stuff I didn't really want and 
waste my chance to get the thing I wanted.

So now I don't get every cute little cel I see. I 
also feel that my tastes have changed, and I 
don't really like "little" cels anymore...and 
looking at galleries full of little cels tends to 
get tedious, too. I don't like galleries with -
lots- of cels, really, unless they're of a high 
quality...I just get tired of them. But when a 
look at a gallery, though small, is all high 
quality, I'm in absolute awe. And, after time, 
those small high quality galleries become -BIG- 
high quality galleries (like Debbye's, whose 
gallery is tons of fun to look at, because it is 
composed almost enteirely of high quality cels; 
whereas if it were tons of lesser cels, I 
probably wouldn't give it the time of day...I can 
see tiny cels anywhere, but I can't see high 
quality cels everywhere).

Just my opinion.
