    Yes....it is as tall as a washer or dryer....and about as wide as one and a half of either! :drinks:

    That drawing is awesome! It deserves to be lovingly framed and preserved.

  2. Nice cover indeed. Pity the interior art pales in comparison. Wondering what will it take for them to release a better compilation book for the classics for the TV and OVAs? Seems those series should be due a new book or two.

  3. It is not uncommon for sellers to buyback a cel or even original comic art from a buyer when they consider selling. Often the buyer gives the seller a courtesy heads up and a first chance before listing online. Actually done this more than a few times. This might seem strange to some, but this practice is akin to keeping an interested buyers list, and notifying the individuals before listing. YMMV.

    I sold that cel on eBay to a buyer in Japan (via a forwarding service) who immediately put it on Yahoo! Japan at an inflated price (I didn't know they would do that).  I've noticed that there are at least a couple of sellers based in Japan that trawl the U.S. eBay for cels they think they can resell to Japanese collectors at a higher price.

    I decided to part with that cel because it seemed to be deteriorating.  It had noticeable oxidation spotting, which I wasn't too concerned about initially.  However, one day when I checked on the cel I noticed that the sides had become wavy (although there was no vinegar smell).  I had a few options:

    1) Quarantine the cel from the rest of my collection;

    2) Ship it to Cel Oasis for however many months and see if they could restore it; or

    3) Sell it before the condition got any worse.

    I decided to sell it (for a very reasonable price), disclosing its condition, with the hope that another Macross cel will come along at some point.  It's a little difficult for me to quarantine cels in my small apartment, and I didn't want to risk the rest of my collection getting contaminated.

    I hope for the sake of whoever bought it for triple the price that it does last for a while.   

       

    Ah. Wish you offered it back to me at what I charged you, as I would've bought it back.

  5. Yuppers, Ghibli art resells differently than Macross artworks,

    Btw, didn't even notice you were posting sold art & cel prices in another thread! 😏 Could you post the sold art and cel stuff in this thread instead? Thanks! Notice there is zero art discussion in the other thread, but here it is one of the main hot topics. Just a thought and request if you will.

    Some nice DYRL cels sold recently. Good prices. Wow, even the DYRL I sold to ZenAmako sold for much more than triple what I charged him. 😛

    This TV cel was a possible fake, Super Dimension Fortress Macross Hikaru Ichijo Misa Hayase - 42,000 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h576110679
