This set went higher than the yahoo price due to internal proxy bidders fighting it out. ~$950

It looks like the Flash Back 2012 cel went for 180,000 yen, hopefully to a collector.

Also there is no budging on price, even if it sits there for a while. I followed one genga set for around 2 years with no reduction in price. I finally through in the towel and bought it.

Nice catch Mokman! Then these might interest you on YJ, a little pricey though. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u342265742

I believe this was the frame.

nice image! Thanks for sharing

A question for those who use desiccant packs to protect your cel collections, what type are you using? I find the small 1/2 unit Desi Pak's to be bulky when used in conjunction with a ITOYA Profolio binders. Are there thin alternatives?

Definitely a great catch.

Nice Shot Mokman, do you have some captures of the few frames just before this one (during the transition/fade in)? The bulb on the side appears to more closely match that frame, though it is obscured by the overlay of the preceding white explosion glare.

jvmacross, is this your poster?

The image looks like it appears right at 15:09 mark in Macross Episode 18: Pineapple Salad (Farewell, Big Brother) during the transition from the explosion to when Miriya just starts to lift her head up to see Max. The white glare does obscures the image but based on the shading, scale and highlights it would appear to me to be authentic. Since it is in a transitional scene could explain why there isn't sequence numbers. I've attached a screen grab of the transition

I have a number of good settei's of AJAC for reference. http://oden.rubberslug.com/gallery/master_query.asp?SeriesID=51791

I recreated this scene with the actual cels. The individual cels can be seen on my RS sight as well. http://oden.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=424004

Thanks Mokman! If you see any other needed corrections and for that matter if you or others remember the specific scene / episode of a cel let me know. That type of info is alway welcome.

What does "Book" mean in anime cel terminology? I've a seen a few anime cels over the years that have this written at the top right corner but haven't yet found an explanation of its meaning. Here is one example I have. http://oden.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=420143
