SpongeBob SquarePants Production Animation Cel Nickelodeon
Item History & Price
Matted and ready to frame! With Charles Scott Gallery COA!
Every drawing and cel of Spongebob is a great image - that's one of the things we love about this cartoon - it's very similar to The Simpsons in this way. It's drawn with such physical life and comedy that every frozen frame is hysterical. And this is no exception. And it comes with a Charles Scott Galle...ry COA (and a nice color laser background). Note: this one has a little red paint residue on his face (see pics).
We've mounted this gorgeous piece of hand-painted art in an acid-free, 4-ply paper mat that measures 11" x 14" - so just buy your own frame and hang it in your home gallery. Note: we only use archival/acid-free materials in mounting your artwork.
SHIPPING COST INCLUDES PRIORITY SHIPPING AND INSURANCE!
NOTE: There is the an ebay seller that has the following text in their Spongebob Cel auctions: "ANY OTHER COAS THAT OTHER SELLERS USE ON EBAY THAT DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE ONE I PROVIDE, PICTURED BELOW, WITH THE CEL, OR DRAWING, ARE FAKE ." Of course this is untrue and is merely a sales tactic.
It should be no surprise that, while their Spongebob cels may be legitimate, the seller with this text has been selling fake cels from other cartoons for years. Their auction descriptions are often vague and deceptive. They will make it sound as if the art is used in production, but if you look carefully, you will find that the word "production" is not used and often nothing is said about it being camera-used (unlike their Spongebob auction descriptions).
We thought we'd use this to put out a general warning: You should always be curious and cautious when purchasing from any seller, as there are individuals out there who fake items, create fake COA's, etc. (fosland/fosworld is a consistent example). As it has been for 80 years, a well known, established gallery is a good place to buy authentic art of any kind and established galleries all have their own COA's, as we do (Van Eaton is another excellent example). Feel free to contact us about this or any other art (even art sold by others) if you ever have any questions. Galleries like ours will always be happy to pass on actual knowledge about productions and production art. And do your homework - there's a great deal of knowledge out there in the internet - to help
One last caution - this seller also suggests that cels should be purchased as "investments, " which you should never do. You should purchase cels because you love them, not because an individual has promised you they will increase in value. Because they may not. But the happiness they bring from evoking the nostalgia of our past is priceless!
