Reflections... last modified: Monday, January 14, 2008 (4:51:04 PM) It has been almost a couple of months since I began this fascinating hobby of cel collecting, and I have really enjoyed it! I have met so many great people, which is nice because none of my friends are into Anime. I am still learning the ropes, but am grateful for all the advice I have been getting from fellow collectors.
In the beginning, I was a bit overwhelmed. There are so many beautiful cel's from so many different series, I wondered If I even had a chance at having a nice collection. I have learned quite a few things over these past couple of months. 1. This is a hobby you can start at anytime, no matter what your age is, Anime fans all appreciate the beauty of the artwork that goes into producing the Anime! 2. Collect what you like! If it cost $10 or $1,000 - if you love it - it's ok! 3. This is a very addicting and expensive hobby - but one that can really be appreciated. It's a great feeling to know you own a part of a show you really love. 4. Collecting takes time! I have high hopes that someday, A beautiful Hanken of Sasuke will pop up for me! Wishful thinking! There is so much thought put into making an Anime. The characters, settings, story... I wish I was that creative. It's great when your feeling down to just relax to your favorite Anime, and cheer up, which makes collecting that much more meaningful. My favorite is Naruto, and if you've seen my gallery you know that Sasuke is my favorite character. It seems I am having a bit of a hard time finding cel's/sketches from Naruto. I think I jumped on the wagon a few years too late! Any good where to find Naruto cel/sketch advice will be greatly appreciated!! Finally, I want to thank everyone who I have met here, and on e-bay who's given me advice and feedback on my new favorite hobby. And a big Thank You to Kate, Denise, Wendy, and Erin for selling me some of the wonderful cel's/sketches in my collection! And Thank You Duane for the gallery feedback!
This is a very addicting and expensive hobby...Collecting takes time! Truer words were never spoken. :) But it is good to hear that you''re having a wonderful time so far. I hope that some of your affordable wishlist items appear in the near future!
How sweet! ^.^ Thank you too for being a great new member to the cel community. *hugs* I really don''t think you''ve started collecting Naruto too late. In my experience, just when you''ve given up all hope getting "that one cel", the flood gates open. I never thought I''d ever find a Tokyo Babylon cel - let alone one I could afford. Then, bam! How many Subarus do I have now? Same thing happened with Sasuke. ^_^ Hang in there!
You definitely caught on quick about this hobby. You''ve hit on some great points. Plus, I see you''re another huge Sasuke fan...welcome to the club. Like DT said, you never know when something might show up.
LOL! Absolutely agree about the "addicting and expensive" part! XD Despite that teeny tiny fine print, it is a fun hobby (except the asshats and deadbeats which I hope you don''t bump into) The feeling you get when the scene you own comes up in an anime is just exhilarating and makes it hard to stop collecting. As for the timing, never too late to become a Narutard. Nice to meet another fellow fan Oh yea! Thanks for the e-mail you sent me ^_^ Take care and have fun! |
