Hi,

First of all thanks for this thread, you have 
rebuilt my confidence on my restored cels. At 
first I thought they will decline in value, even 
though I loved the art work more after 
restoration, now after knowing it may not affect 
the value if done properly, I am even more happy 
with it. 

I've restored 4 cels in all, and all of them 
because of line fading. I know, I know, 4 cels 
are nothing comparing to the pros that have been 
doing this for years, but I have been drawing 
since 4, so I am pretty good at it. I just got 
this Tenchi pan cel in today, and the Ryoko layer 
have line fadings, especially around her face and 
chest area. So, I did a little work on it, and 
now it looked like I should have paid a lot more 
for this cel. 

So, my suggestion is, if you have a cel that you 
loves a lot, and needs restoration, don't let its 
beauty fade away. Find a pro, or do it yourself 
if you can. 

Here is the cel I restored today, you can see a 
larger pic on my website. Good luck to you all!
