1940 Superman Card Index

Gum, Inc.'s 72-card R145 set from 1940 — the first Superman trading cards — tracked card by card, graded and raw. The high numbers (#49–72) had a short run and are far harder to find.

Asking price index

98.20 · 1940 Superman asking prices are down 1.80% against Aug 5

100 = Aug 5. A matched-basket index: each step compares only the listings present both before and after, taking the geometric mean of their price ratios with extremes clipped, so a listing ending or arriving cannot move it. Vintage asking prices change slowly - expect small numbers here.
