List of Anime Cel Dealers
& Resources

Below are notable anime cel dealers and cel-related resources.

Auction Houses

  1. Comic Connect (https://comicconnect.com)

  2. Easy Live Auction (https://www.easyliveauction.com/)

  3. eBay (www.ebay.com): probably the most active marketplace in the US for anime cels. Buyer beware!]

  4. Heritage Auctions (www.ha.com): the largest US auction house that routinely auctions anime cels. You pay a lot but can access some of the highest quality cels on the market.

  5. Invaluable (https://www.invaluable.com/search?keyword=cel)

  6. Jauce (www.jauce.com): this is a proxy service that allows US residents to order from Yahoo Japan Auctions. It's expensive... I hope to find an alternative resource at some point.

  7. Live Auctioneers (https://www.liveauctioneers.com)

  8. Mandarake (https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp) a leading anime shop in Japan that runs a great auction house for anime cel collecting

  9. Mercari (www.mercari.com): another Japanese auction site. I’ve never ordered from there and don’t have much to say about it

  10. RRAuctions (https://rrauction.com): Western animation oriented with high quality items from time to time.
