Looking for Gundam cels.
I have alot of great cel shop sites in my favorites but none that really have a good selection of Gundam cels. Heck not even yahoo japan has a great ammount of them. Im sure Im not the only one around here that is into gundam and gundam cels.
Has anyone come across any good sites that have a selection of gundam cels? I could care less what the series is but Im just tired of only finding 3 pages of Hilde cels from Gundam Wing and alot of over played Domon cels from G Gundam. lol
Most of my collection comes from sticking like glue to Yahoo Japan. Just check the auctions regularly. There are quite a few sellers who will infrequently put up a lot of stuff, you just have to keep an eye out.
One name to remember is the seller "kerwein". Keep an eye out for when he/she puts up his/her stuff. He/She has a very large selection of U.C. stuff, and most of it is priced very well.
I have just recently gotten into 'Gundam' myself. This is largely thanks to picking up 'Seed' when Media Play went under.
I'm kind of wondering what the price range for the UC cels are. At the moment, I've watched 3/4 of the original TV series and plan to make it through the rest of the UC stuff over the next few months.
I think I am mainly interested in knowing what the price range of 0083 cels. I already like the art a lot without having seen the series...
Also, I have seen a couple of auctions lately that look like they were repos from the original 'Gundam'. Does anyone know how to tell a repo from the original series?

The repros don't have the tap holes in the cel, and are unnumbered. They usually have a Sunrise sticker on it (small gold square with the Gundam's head) That's all I know, I haven't been able to find out when or in what quantity they where produced (I do think that I've seen just about all of the varieties by now though).
Edit - Did I say no tap holes? I was speaking from memory there, and then I took a moment to actually look at a repro. So, um, holes are good.
