Dragon Ball Z Production Cel Catalog Page Appraisal

Dragon Ball Z Production Cel Catalog Page

This item is an open catalog or reference book showcasing various framed animation cel or genga artworks, specifically from the "Dragon Ball Z" series. The catalog displays eight individual entries on the visible page, each featuring what appears to be a framed production cel of the character Goku in a state of high energy, possibly charging a 'Spirit Bomb' or similar attack, given his raised arms. Each framed piece is presented within a square, dark-matted frame with a metallic, possibly gold-toned, outer border. The background of the artwork inside the frames varies slightly in color and intensity, suggesting different stages or moments of the animation. The catalog entry for each piece includes identification numbers (e.g., "S21-04B053"), the title "DRAGON BALL Z" in English and Japanese, and details such as "Size: 340mm x 260mm (13.4" x 10.4")", "Specifications: original copyright", "Broadcast Year: 1989-1996", and "Production Studio: Toei Video". The item is a printed publication, likely a high-quality catalog for collectors or archives, showing no significant wear, tears, or damage, implying it is in good to very good condition. The paper appears to be thick and glossy, typical of art catalogs. The repetitive nature of the displayed art (Goku in a similar pose across multiple frames) indicates a possible thematic collection or variations of a key animation sequence. The craftsmanship of the catalog itself appears professional, with clear printing and organized layout. The estimated age of the catalog aligns with the broadcast years of Dragon Ball Z, suggesting it could be from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
