Just going through my piles of accumulated stuff to see what I can sell off to cut back the amount of junk I have lieing around and I came across these and think I may sell them on ebay.
For those that dont know this is what started it all off.
This is 2 of the 1940s chewing gum cards that first featured Superman.
It was from these simple gum cards that all the other Superman stuff spawned from.
Not exactly sure how much they are worth but the sale of the 2 should be atleast enough to buy a Te1a or Sr1a. I'm tracking a few of these cards on ebay to give me an idea what mine or worth.

I'm just figuring that out at the moment.
I know they are worth atleast $30 each US but probably more.
Someone has one of the cards for $129 US buy it now but I think that is wishfull thinking.
There are about 6 or 7 of these cards on ebay US that I'm tracking to get an idea what they are worth.
