I began collecting animation art many moons ago...back in 1992. At that time I was mainly buying cels. Since those were the salad days, before mortgages and multiple cars, I could afford to pay a good deal for some nice pieces. I also had a lot of time back then to send away for signatures (Bill Cosby, Peter Laird, Chuck Jones and a whole collection of art from Tom Yohe).

Then there was a long stretch when I bought nothing (*sniff* *sniff*).

I began with this particular mania again in October of 1997. Now, I collect mainly drawings and pre-production art. I also tend to limit myself to spending no more than $100 per piece. The crash of the animation art market has made this quite easy!
