Any anime cel collectors here?

(Anonymous) 2022-08-18 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I used to be big into cels back in the day, and out of curiosity got on ebay and searched for DBZ cels. And I kept finding bonkers stuff, as in, different sellers with the exact same picture, for different listings, with the exact same cel numbers (which is impossible! Because every single cel in a sequence has a different number). And I’m just baffled. Is this is weird scam? Has anyone else run across this? Here’s an example of three different listings, though these Bulma cels were not the only listings I found with the exact same cel for sale as someone else.

Well... not a collector myself but I suppose bootleg cels are a thing now.

As a collector, in my experience, bootlegs are really hard to do convincingly. Also, why would you go to the effort of creating a mediocre cel from a mediocre scene (and not of one of the Saiyan characters) if you were going to do one? That's why this just seems so odd to me. I don't know if sellers are just reusing someone else's pictures or what.

I dunno about "bootleg" specifically, but I know a guy who's into cel collecting and turns out there's a market for "replica cels". Sold as recreations, sometimes of shows that apparently weren't traditionally animated.

So I guess it's not surprising that if some people are openly selling "replica cels", someone with the same skillset might be essentially creating forgeries.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of forged animation cels in general. Unless you're buying from a reputable dealer, pretty much assume it's a fake. And sometimes they get stuff slipped by them as well.
