Captain Scarlet Production Collectables

[hollie1586]

i have a few items of original film cells/slides and transparencies from the production of captain scarlet and i need help in selling them. I took them to my local auction house and they said that i would be better trying to sell them online but i have no idea of how to list them to get the best price. I dont really know how to do the description etc. Im no expert of the tv production world. Anyone know someone who could help? Maybe you are interested yourself?

eBay has a specific category for animation art. Take a look at what others are offering (noting particularly whether they're actually attracting any bids!):

It might also be worth asking Bonham's if they're interested in selling them:

PS: If you want enthusiasts to find your items on auction sites, it's worth noting that they'll probably search for 'cel' (which is the usual abbreviation of 'celluloid', as used in the film industry), rather than 'cell'.

Thanks for those pointers. I have no idea on what kind of price to start them at. Haven't seen anything like them so have no clue.

Well I hope that you make more than the £1.86 recorded on eBay a couple of months ago!

This seller is more optimistic but there are no bids yet:
