The PDF, as you receive it
Presented as Hyakuju-O GoLion, Toei, 1981
A hand-painted production eyecatch cel setup from GoLion, 1981. I would expect this to pass authentication.
Hand-painted on the back of the cel. You can see the thickness of the paint, and some places where the color is carried past the line. The black lines are on the front, which is typical for xerography. It has four layers, stuck. It matches the broadcast frame.
Paint loss and damage under the stuck layers. The grade. And the evidence itself: UV, magnification, the evidence photographs, and the surface fingerprint that ties this object to its record.
This is my opinion, from your images alone. It is not a certification: no seal, no public record, not transferable. Your $50 counts toward a certificate for 90 days.
We examined this one in hand afterwards. It is public as RKJ15778: grade C, six condition flags, the paint the background took with it when it was lifted, anchored. That gap is the $50 against the $250.
Hand-painted, but the lines are too new for the age of this piece. The peg holes are too clean. I would not expect this to pass.
Send photos and details and we will tell you whether it is something we handle and which package fits, and if we can already see it will not pass, we say so before you ship anything. That costs nothing and it always will. What it does not include is the document above. More in the FAQ →
Photo Reviews belong to the customer and we do not publish them. The sample above is written on a piece from our own collection so that we can show the form without showing anyone's piece. Questions: authentic@rinkya.com.
