What is the rarest /a/ related item that you possess?
OP is not mine
A cel of Faye Valentine.
>>152906281
these probably
Probably this, now. I also have a genga that is a frontal headshot of Lain.
>>152906281
Some Japanese weeb got these "whatevers" of the lost Maze movie.
>>152906737
Neat-o
investment bump for a potentially tasty thread
Where d'you guys get cels from? I remember seeing nothing but Roujin Z cels on eBay for many years
I don't have anything particularly rare outside of some manga that went OOP years ago and fetches crazy money. Old shit like the Memories anthology, Vertical Inc. Tezuka omnibuses, two volumes of Mushishi to name a few
I also have the Jiro Taniguchi artbook that you could only get in Luis Vuitton stores
>>152910510
I bought mine on ebay
>>152910568
How much were they?
>>152910568
Also something I've always wanted to know - how come most of them are from US sellers? And why are original pieces of film art so cheap, is it because of how many hundreds of frames films produce?
>>152910510
Ebay, anime conventions but they are cancerous no matter where you live but the best are in japan at shops that sell cel and other things like line art and character designs. Also japanese auction sites lurk buyfag to learn of them.
>>152910568
There are several reprints on ebay but the actual cels there are ok at best not the best selection.
>>152910642
$130 for >>152906906
and $90 for pic
>>152910760
I don't know, mine were both from Japanese sellers. I don't know about the cost either.
>>152910821
As far as I know mine are authentic. They're both from reputable sellers at least.
For only 1kUS
>>152911478
You spend $1000 on that? Really?
>>152906281
The original script, notes, drawings and designs of my future anime movie.;_;
>>152911478
Why would you spend $1000 on a sketch of an anime character? Honestly, I wouldn't even pay $1000 for a sketch from the lost notebooks of a famous artist, let alone a fucking animator.
>>152912169
Greatest disappointment of the last decade, what a piece of shit.
Tanigawa Nico sent this to me along with a nice little letter.
>>152912137
>>152912350
Mandarake at it again.

I got some cels
Mostly Nadesico
A few Bubblegums
I really like this Ruin Explorers one I got too
all in all I have some 30 cels but don't have pictures of most of them
I own no anime stuff.
A large plastic promotional card for Texhnolyze signed by the entire English cast.
Rare, sure. One of a kind. Worth anything? Probably not much.
>>152912897
What did you do to her?
>>152913692
I'm jealous. Got a pic?
>>152906281
I have this on my room, is a painting of this, I don't know who did it not where I got it, since I have it since 2000 or maybe earlier, I don't remember. Can't show pics since I'm not home.
It's exactly the same as this pic.
>>152913334
Those cobra cels.
>>152913334
>Evangelion cels
>Only 200 dollars
>Character: Ray
Seems legit, no Chinese fakery here.
>>152913740
I sent a fan letter to them a few years ago and they sent a reply back just last month.
>>152913785
God, I loved reading this. Don't think I've ever even seen anyone bring this series up for discussion. Ever. A shame about the anime though. Making a 30 vol. manga into a 13 ep series was a shit move even if only 20 volumes were released at that time.
Oh my fucking christ. I want this so bad but I am poor sadly.

>>152913776
Not on me, no.
>>152913334
Based Kimura at it again. Whose pubes will he confirm next?
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=473115
>>152914016
>100 fucking thousand yen
Why
>>152914055
Because green pubes, that's why.
https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoJa.html?index=346579
>>152914142
Wait so no one's bought it? I really want to see thatgapedpussy.
>>152914533
830k yen is a lot of money for pubes man.
>>152913964
Oh holy shit that is 23 inches long.
Probably this.
>>152912350
I'd pay $1000 for that C.C. lewd.
Not really rare, but medium rare.
>>152914533
It's been bought. That's the winning auction bid.
>>152915372
Not enough.
I have something rare I bought becuase of animu, if that counts
>>152915632
Does it run? It looks P cool
>>152915632
I just finished that show, fucking noice
>>152915384
>Medium rare
The only way true men like it.
>>152915801
Anything other than black and blue or rare is a sin.
I guess carpaccio is also fine, if you have good filet mignon.
>>152915683
It's in pieces waiting restoration. I'm really just repainting the rusted parts and replacing some wear items though. I've been putting it off for a big while now. It did run prior to that though.
>>152915762
The prior owner was a rich guy who just rode it around his airplane hanger. I got it for a good price too. Although getting fresh parts is an issue.
>>152915927
>Although getting fresh parts is an issue.
Finding the right parts is half the fun anon.
>>152911478
Literally robbery
Pigeon
>>152916005
What else am I supposed to spend money on?
https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoJa.html?index=321099
Only the one cel. I have some genga and douga that I keep in a nice folder.
>>152915632
you better have the honda city to go with it faggot
Just stuff signed by people that went to AX. I guess it would be the WF exclusive Yoko fig with the base signed by Hiroyuki Imaishi
>>152919060
I already looked up how to import it, and it can't be done. I ain't rich enough to buy several of them, import them, and have a few of them crash tested.
>>152906737
I'm still mad I didn't buy those frames. They weren't expensive at all either.
>>152919372
wait fuck me, I forgot that cars after a certain age can be imported with no restrictions. Gotta go look this shit up. Unfortunately, I have neither the money nor the space for another car, especially one that will just mostly be fore show. Still though, one day I'll have it one to match my bike.
>>152912654
What's so bad about it? Isn't it just the first x volumes in one nice book?
>>152907891
Oh, it's you again. Anybody going to bid on that auction? Less than a day left and still zero bids.
I have a couple of official sketches from Binbougami-ga.
Gunbuster VHS
Not particularly rate, but I'm sure not many people outside of nipland own it.
Maybe the Niea_7 DVD box set by Pioneer (middle of the top shelf).
Some shitty fantasy mango that got dropped by its original publisher after the first volume, signed by the author.
Life-sized picture of Kissshot from Kata-artbook by as109, printed and framed behind the tempered glass.
>>152911478
Ben 10 was a great show, but 1000$ for a sketch of Gwen is a little too much.
Some yaoi from 1981.
I also have a copy of Bahamut ep 8 storyboard, which I really bought to see how they changed the script and not particularly for collection or memorabilia, but that's only rare and not sought after. It was 800 yen I think.
>>152922016
Damn dude you own Kokoro Toshokan. I love 10+ year old moe like that.
I own both of the official Watamote daki, which is one of a clothed tomoko with a pink background and one of yuu in a bikini on a white background.
>>152923801
It's one of my favourites, so glad I could get my hands on a DVD set for it. They don't make 'em like they used to.
>>152921802
From the thumb, it looked like you were snorting coke from a hotel bible.
Oh, and a set of 3 official SDF Macross guidebooks from 1983 (two of them) and 1990 (must be a reprint). Dem line drawings and watercolors.
>>152910510
>Jiro Taniguchi
Why does his manga always go out of print so fast? I'm glad I bought A Distant Neighbourhood, the hardcover reprint, since it looks beautiful.
Are the Legend of the Galactic Heroes novels rare? If so then I own the fourth volume in Japanese, first edition.
>>152926430
Probably down to small print runs. Taniguchi is such a niche interest in the Western market (compared to how big he is in Europe).
Most of Fanfare/Ponent Mon's catalogue is low-print run stuff
I also have his Samurai Legend book from CPM, and a much harder to get Hotel Harbour View which Viz released under their short-lived Spectrum line
