"The Sea Witch...?"

I bought this one on eBay not too long after the Ursula cels. Although not a have-to-have shot, I do love the clear expression and sizeable shot in this cel. Although I have actually seen better cels from this sequence (some extend all the way to her tail, which is also painted), this one is significant in that it is the only cel from this sequence that I have seen that has a seal. For a collector who collects only legitimate cels, that made this cel much more significant. Often when I find cels without seals from a sequence, I find several cels from that sequence, all without seals. That makes it harder to get ones with seals.

This cel was sold on eBay as an auction. Unlike my Ursula cel this one attracted a few more bids and I was a little more worried that I wouldn't get it (ah, the rush of sniping on eBay). In total it had six bid, including mine, and the final price was $US968.79. It comes with a photographic background which does not match the scene, and a couple of images with alternate presentations, this one included, were also on the listing. I fell this presentation format, a white background which emphasises the image clearly, is best. It's unframed so I can have it arranged that way when I get around to framing.

This piece cost $US968.79. Photographic background (or not :P). Unframed. The authentication seal is in the bottom-rightcorner.
