Description
Superman The Super Bubble Gum Wrapper (Gum Inc., 1940). Among the earliest Superman memorabilia ever produced. This is an original wrapper from the 1940 card set, which consisted of cards #1-48 which comprised the original series, and cards #49-72 which comprised a short printed second set. Perhaps what is most notable about the cards, from a historical perspective, is that the first card in the set is the earliest occurrence of Superman's Kryptonian name being spelled "Kal-el." When the original set was released in 1940, Superman's Kryptonian name had only been revealed once - in the second newspaper daily strip published on January 17, 1939 - and was there spelled "Kal-L." "Kal-El" would soon become the most-used spelling (along with Jor-El, rather than Jor-L as it was originally printed). The wrapper is in Good condition, with a few small edge pieces missing, tears, creasing, soiling, and toning. Extremely rare!Auction Info
