At least that's what I understand it to be. Their auctions always have the back story that these cels were prototypes for a GA-comics-themed retail product in 1999 that never got off the ground. I must admit, I would like to see what they look like in hand. PeterPark and pmpknface 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a bunch of LB Cole ones too (my wheelhouse) but I never pulled the trigger on them. Maybe if I wanted to display one in a comic room or something, but I'd just rather buy more comics.

I have a couple (one has a 2020 backing board on it so there's that), and they are nice to complement my GA copies, but I treat them just as a produced item from a store. I'm not paying over the starting bid (usually $25) as I'm assuming they can continue to churn them out. I see some of these go for multiple hundreds and am shocked.

Here is one of my purchases showing the final product, compared to the size of a comic, and the pieces which it is made of. This one did not have any dates on it. I will get pictures of the other one tomorrow. OtherEric, pmpknface, Point Five and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manetteska Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Here is my other sericel from that buyer, which was my first purchase (of two). I liked this one a lot, especially the deep colors, which led me to a second. However, I feel the second one (Snake-Woman) is not as detailed or vibrant; it could be due to the differences in images and colors; or manufactured differently. I don’t know. Another reason I won’t spend over opening bid on any of these. And here is part of the product with a 2022 date. I call it a product as it's three or so different pieces: sericel, on a board, the painted board, and then a final board. It could be these are truly warehouse images from the 90s and shipped or presented on current backer boards… again I don’t know.
