Pink Panther Animation Appraisal

Pink Panther Golfer Sericel

This is a framed limited edition animation sericel featuring the iconic Pink Panther character in a golfing pose. The character is depicted mid-swing, wearing a white polo shirt, blue and red checkered 'plaid' trousers, and a white golf cap, set against a stylized green fairway with a blue sky background. In the lower-left corner of the artwork, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) corporate logo and lion emblem are visible, indicating authorized production. The piece is professionally mounted in a classic black cove-molded frame with a wide white mat board. A handwritten price tag in the upper right corner identifies the medium specifically as a 'sericel'. Sericels are decorative animation art produced via silk-screening onto acetate, mimicking the look of traditional hand-painted production cels but intended for commercial retail rather than film production. The condition appears stable within the frame, though there is some light visible dust and minor surface scuffing on the black frame finish. The colors remain vibrant without obvious signs of UV fading. The estimated age of this specific commemorative release is likely from the 1990s or early 2000s, a period of peak popularity for animation art collectibles.
