SGC Good+ 2.5

EYE APPEAL & CONDITION
Bright, saturated colors—Superman’s red cape and blue suit remain vivid against the yellow backdrop. Slight low/right centering (~55/45) keeps full artwork visible. Honest corner rounding, light edge wear, and a subtle vertical wrinkle by the beam explain the 2.5 grade; no paper loss, writing, or staining. Reverse text is clean and fully legible.
WHY COLLECT
Issued just two years after
Action Comics #1
, the 1940 Gum Inc. series is Superman’s debut on cardboard. Mid‑grade examples like this let collectors own authentic Golden‑Age art without the four‑figure price tag commanded by higher grades.
