Show buyers the moment
Most listings say a cel was “photographed and appears in the film”. Pegbar lets you show where, with the frame beside the cel on your own lot page.
Friar Tuck production cel
Robin Hood, Walt Disney Productions, 1973. Gouache on acetate, framed.
One line under the photo
The badge sits under your listing photo. A buyer who taps it sees the full report: the scene playing, the cel landing on its drawing, and the drawings either side that don’t fit.
The badge says exactly what Pegbar found, and nothing more. Each of the three answers has its own wording.
Built for a catalogue, not one cel
A report for every cel
Each cel gets a page like the Friar Tuck report, with the scene, the frame, the neighbours and the measurements.
Your photos, as they are
Pegbar works from the listing photos you already take. A photo of the back and the peg holes helps, and makes the listing stronger too.
Scene names you can use
Descriptions often guess at the scene. A report gives you the scene, the time and what happens in it, ready for your catalogue copy.
Honest answers
When a cel finds no frame, the report says so and explains why. Buyers trust a “matched” badge more when they know a “no” is possible.

What to photograph
The same habits that help collectors help a catalogue. The more of the cel a photo shows, the more a report can say.
- The front, straight on, in soft light with no glass if possible.
- The whole sheet, including its edges and any peg holes.
- The back, where the paint is.
- Any seal, stamp or number, close up.
