Storing alot of cels

I wasn't sure on the tissue paper thing myself, but I noticed when I bought cels directly from animation pros, the cels came with tissue paper between each layer and the background. Those cels had been stored like that for 20+ years, nothing was stuck and the old xerox lines were perfect. Asked around and got the right tissue paper- so far everything is perfect.

I've had a few discussions with animation art restoration experts who aren't keen on storing cels in bags for years and years. I keep my best cels in a flat file cabinets. Bulk cels go into museum boxes.

Well, I will put it this way. I have never seen a polypropolyne bag damage a cel in any way. However, I have numerous examples of cels damaged by contact with tissue paper.

Now, mylar bags can bork up cels, this is true.

Well, my being the nice, tender hearted guy that I am, you are more than welcome to store your 350 cels at my house. I don't have any problems at all with that ^_^

Heh. Thanks for the generous offer, but unless by complete chance you live like 5 minutes from my apartment I could have saved alot of money by simply leaving them at storage with the orginal owner.

Unfortunately too many of the things I own are already stored that way in my apartment. My closet is full of stacks of psychology articles as it is....
