Can anyone provide me with info on this stuff. I know nothing at all about this stuff. Being a huge fan of the series I would love to own something like this. The 90s animated series is actually the main reason why I love and collect X-Men comics.

That's a nice piece. Usually, dealers and and auctions only contain the character cels and not the background. I am no expert on this, but I believe the cels are painted on a plastic acetate. The clean up is essentially a sketch piece.

[MutantKeys]

Any idea how much this type of thing goes for?? I have some extra cash since I lost an X-Men 258 9.8 last night . Turns out someone is crazier than me..

[KingOfRulers]

Generally, I see just character cels from Fox shows at about $200-$400 or so. I don't really see backgrounds that much, so that's harder to estimate. If it were owned by a dealer we'd probably see the set priced at around $800-1000. I've never really seen what these go for in auction though.

[MutantKeys]

I'll be watching it. Hopefully I can snag it if it does not get out of control. Thanks for your input KOR.

Good luck MutantKeys. I think anyone who was a kid back then and into comics, loved the cartoon. I still watch it and enjoy it just as much as then.

 

There are many animation production art dealers out there that sell similar cels and production sketches. Not just from Fox shows, but vintage Warner Bros. pieces from Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, as well as Disney and Hanna Barbara. Off hand I think you might want to check out animationconnection.com and vegalleries.com (Van Eaton galleries). I forgot if they have X-men pieces though, although I think they do. Generally speaking, if you search the different dealers you can find more X-men pieces, Spider-man and Batman pieces. At the last Megacon there was actually a dealer at the show who had X-men cels. So, even at comic cons there is sometimes some cels for sale.

I have a good amount of TMNT cels...they bring back such nice memories of childhood...they are real neat pieces and generally are pretty affordable...good luck!

I have the bootleg box set and it brings back memories.

 

Thanks, I never searched for this stuff before but I wouldnt mind owning any of the spidey or batman cells either or anything that I remember when I was a kid. I will check those sites out and research for others.

I can't really see that pic on HS as I don't have an account and have no desire to create one but why is that one so much when I see these often on ebay for so little? http://cgi.ebay.com/Pryde-Of-The-X-MEN-Original-ANIMATION-CEL-LINE-ART_W0QQitemZ150140641143QQihZ005QQcategoryZ1532QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Sure...here are a few scans I just took. Keep in mind that my scanner is not top-notch and they look much better in person...

On the first one, it's just a sketch. Unless the sketch is from older cartoons (1960s and earlier) then they are not worth that much. The cels are what carry some value when talking new material.

 

The second auction is probably because it's a pretty bad piece--who wants a butt shot of Pyro?

Great TMNT stuff!!!!

Yeah but look on ebay and there's a ton of them especially from this same seller. 5.00 or 10.00 is a far cry from the money some people were throwing out there. Here's a decent Magneto one.

Again I don't see the difference between one of these and 1000.00 for a similar one but from a dealer?

So true.. I passed on the butt shot but I picked up these so far. Unfortunately someone outbid me on the magneto ones :

That Magneto piece is a very nice one. I would have bid if I had seen it. Anyway, the Wolverine piece would be priced so high because it comes with the sketch AND the background. The background is important. Often times backgrounds are worth more then the cels, unless it's an iconic cel image. Plus you have to add in the fact that dealers overprice these anyway. That's why I haven't bought one. I love the cartoons but I just think dealers do overprice them, and when I weight what my money could get me in comic OA or comics, versus animtation cel art the comics have always won.
