ZenAmako Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Ugh... The Minmay wedding cel sold for 652,000 yen. I guess that opening price was not that crazy after all. There are a few other nice DYRL cels on YJ right now, like this set: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q371033447 Quote
jvmacross Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 DYRL? cel lot........220,250 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q371033447 DYRL? cel lot........177,250 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d449601812 DYRL? Minmay cel.......68,000 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o400129567 So the average sale price for these comes out to 66,500 JPY........I'd say it's was all Minmay driving these prices!

Fortress_Maximus Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Rather unsurprising considering DYRL art prices typically command more than TV art prices. Wonder if we can expect to see these reappear on feebay anytime soon. Anyone here care to wager a guess? Or better, did anyone here win any of these sets? Quote
jvmacross Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 At the high "entry" price....I would doubt any of these qualify as your typical "ebay cel scalper" fodder....also, with possibly the exception of the "single" Minmay cel auction, they all appear to have been local buyers...or at least their low feedback numbers would indicate individual buyers rather than proxy accounts....

Fortress_Maximus Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 If the recent DYRL cel lots and FB cels were purchased within Japan that is an interesting trend. Especially considering many previous sales were made using proxies for in all likelihood, international collectors. On a related note, it appears YJA seller apple_symphony_xx is finally, unloading their Macross art inventory. Previously he had a large collection of art but, perhaps he is finally realizing now is the time to cash in. Wonder if we will see other YJA sellers follow his lead? Now is a great time to buy art for high end collectors who prudently saved or are independently wealthy, but not so great for anyone struggling financially. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 yes, seems Applesymphony is feeling the heat from SonicRS...lol Quote
jvmacross Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 First time I ever printed a screen capture for a cel sequence.....crappy inkjet printer, but I think it's looks fair enough....I have always wanted to get a printout of the background for this cel sequence because the background actually is filmed "clean" before the cel images appear.....so no need to clean up or photoshop away the cel images.....anyways here it is....the cel is from SDFM Episode 6 "DAEDELUS ATTACK"... Hikaru narrowly escapes becoming a casualty of friendly fire! BEFORE...... AFTER.......... Quote
de_005 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 That looks terrific. It makes all the difference. Oh, you may want to use a mylar bag to protect the cel from the background (if you haven't already) Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Creative jvmacross! Will you attempt to do the same with your other cels? And btw did you get the cel framed, frame it yourself, or did you borrow one from an existing artwork? Curious who is open to do framing work during the Chaz and Covid mess. Quote
Chas Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Wait, I am a mess? While my wife and kids may agree with you, I'm curious as to how you found me out! (LOL, autocorrect strikes again? *Chaos ) Edited June 17, 2020 by Chas Quote
jvmacross Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 @Fortress_Maximus, I actually just reused the same glass frame the cel was housed in for years. As far as framing goes, I have never taken any of my cels to get "professionally" framed. I think, at least in my part of the country, most shops are reopening or have been open with "social distancing" procedures in place for over a week now. Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Gotcha. Are you using UV resistent museum glass and acid free archival matting? May want to use those for your higher end artworks that you elect to display. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 yeah....the VF-1J has been behind the same frame for over a decade. I literally "disturbed" it for the first time since last week. So far so good I suppose. Quote

jvmacross Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Would have been nice of them to actually point out the specific magazine they are referring to....anyone know? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s751077842 Quote

Illustrated by Hirano and his wife Kakinouchi. Both key animators to macross! Quote
jvmacross Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 @de_005...thanks for the translation! I was able to dig up the issue....exactly as you suggested it was....My Anime, May 1983..... It is actually one of the less interesting illustrations....here are the rest....seems to be some kind of story involving Hikaru and Minmay.....maybe I can use Google Translate to get an idea of what is happening in the story..... Quote
de_005 Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Woah you actually had the magazine! I have a feeling you could open up a dedicated macross museum all by yourself. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 If BW wants to open and curate one, they can give me a call! Quote
jvmacross Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Winning bid on the magazine illustration.....41,501 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s751077842 Judging by the final auction winning bid amount...41,501....going to say a proxy bidder won it.....anyone here win it? Quote
jvmacross Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Looks like a proxy lost out to a local on this one....I thought the Japanese didn't like Macross II? LOL.... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e444450571....48,000 Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 That original drawing from the magazine illustration is interesting, but just not a fan of the closed eyes compositions. However definitely a huge fan of the artworks by Toshihiro Hirano and Kakinouchi! Pity neither lend their character design talents to recent series. Anyone bid on or win the recent DYRL cel lot that closed at 1k USD? Quote
jvmacross Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 It was a decent lot to get a collection going....but at a high entry point... But the biggest winner over the weekend was thie Minmay drawing.....214,000 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d453930938 The bloodbath towards the final minutes got up to 102 bids but at the end it appears to have stayed local Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Both auctions were grossly inflated sale prices. Don't know what the hell those buyers were thinking, since neither lot contained high end artworks. Hopefully these will not end up on our local online chopping blocks courtesy of our favorite scumbag scalpers. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I think it is safe to say the sketch won't....I doubt there is a market for it in the US at that $2000 price, which means it would need to go to about $2500 to break even on it.....not even the likes of saraliso or UTH is that stupid.... Quote
treker14 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I’m not sure if I posted these but they’re from Southern Cross, Robotech 2nd war Quote
Shawn Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Love the milia in her TV flight suit cels...I always liked that throwback they did in m7 with it. Quote
