Re resources: check out this site which has a list of all active places to buy cels and how to maintain them: www.neotokyo.com
Re fakes: The community is good about helping but hard to seek their advice without it tipping your hand. Some very smart members of the discord community. I don’t spend more than $1000 without verifying the frame or scene which captures most issues. I also have strong preference to own the douga + cel.
Lastly, I don’t and wouldn’t buy cels doraemon or Pokémon without it being a full master setup. There is no way to verify a random show of pikachu.
