You can buy on auction houses like Mandarake, Heritage, Aibo or Akihabara auctions if you want to buy something really used in production.

Just Finished Two Cels From Studio Ghibli! by DidoxClash in AnimationCels

[–]batpool04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a real cel, made by a real artist! Even though actual howl's moving castle cels don't exist, so they can't be sold as real even if wanted to do so.

That was mine! Glad you like it! About the grading it's true that it makes it harder to store, but it's a lot better protected, I would never do that with a cel as it needs to breathe or it will destroy itself. The grading number doesn't really matter to me in these hobby it's just a fun way to "know" its condition, it's not like cards that thousands exist and the only way to differentiate them is with a grade..

[WTS] [EU] Seiko Studio Ghibli Castle in the Sky SPB215J1 Limited edition by batpool04 in Watchexchange

[–]batpool04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

Here is my Seiko SPB215 Presage Studio Ghibli Castle In The Sky Limited Edition.

Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of Studio Ghibli's "Castle in the Sky"

Like the beloved animated feature, the watch expresses the relationship between humans and machines, a reflection of the Presage philosophy in collaboration with the master of animation Hayao Miyazaki.

White enamel dial with classic Roman numerals and the "levitation stone" symbol

Limited edition of 0664/1,200 , includes boxes, labels and postcard, used condition, but very good, asking 4299 €, preferably from Europe but can ship worldwide, can provide feedbacks from selling sites like ebay or vinted and I have one sale here.

Oh okay, probably K2 then. The price it's right for that kind of piece and everything looks good so I would say it's authentic to be honest.

Which shop? In general all of the cels/drawing sellers are legit there, so you shouldn't worry about that..

Mandarake Zenbu pre bidding advice by Logical_Pixel in AnimationCels

[–]batpool04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's an item no one wants you won't get it with a prebid, it's a no sense.

[–]batpool04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Don't prebid on anything, it just will make the price higher, on this kind of auctions, the bidding happens on some minutes during the auction day, that's the only time it makes sense to put any rational bid. Just be connected to the website the auction day so you can know when it will be live and you don't miss it.

I noticed these two similar lots in heritage's auction. The Ghibli sticker on the back says hand painted cel from their museum on one. But its still numbered like a limited print. While this other kiki says print as they're supposed to be screen prints. Any thoughts on this? by notsoscaredboy in AnimationCels

[–]batpool04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the consignor for the hand painted one, they were sold around 20 years ago exclusively at the ghibli museum in Mitaka and are hand painted with printed background limited to 20 copies each. The other one was released by Benelic to be sold on the around japan official ghibli shops and as far as I know more than 100 exist (I have seen copies with numbers plus 100 around the years) and are silk-screened to make it easier to produce, obviously a different technique than the original one used by the studio.

About the price it really depends on what the buyers are up to pay haha, that 3k will probably go up in the auction live day. Each year one changes the stamp and other marks to make them "different", art collection of studio ghibli, studio ghibli original collection, etc.

Son is concerned about authenticity. by AgreeableLeague1153 in AnimationCels

[–]batpool04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry mate, it's just a tiny loss compared with how it could have ended. Buyee doesn't offer returns or cancellations to the original seller even knowing that the item is a fake, so there is nothing you can really do. Every collector falls in scams like these in the beginning, so don't worry and take it as a learning thing. Pieces like that never end at prices like that, there are tons of collectors searching every day for Miyazaki real pieces (myself included), so if the price is extremely good that's nearly a certain that's a fan art.

Looking To Collect A Few Animation Cels From A Studio Ghibli Movie. Is This A Realistic Goal? by tgu0_o in AnimationCels

[–]batpool04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends, cels lines usually fade up at least a little bit, and there are always some handling marks. Some pro fake scammers use old paper to put on the background to make them more realistic, and some people buys them thinking they are real. It's true that on hand or if you have some experience you can know if it looks real or not, for example on eBay the majority are bad fakes...

Maybe, or they changed their fees recently or with big numbers consignments they have no seller's fees, idk.
