Shaded band is the middle half of live Buy It Now asking prices, weekly intervals; the line is the median. Auctions are excluded - a climbing bid is not an asking price. The scale follows the asking prices, so a sale well outside them is pinned to the edge rather than flattening the band. Off the chart: $102 on Oct 10.middle halfconfirmed salebest offer, at its cap

1940 Superman Gum GUM, Inc. Trading Card #47 Horror Beneath The Sea
Estimated grades are this site’s opinion, derived from the seller’s photo and expressed on the PSA scale. Not affiliated with or endorsed by PSA; not a guarantee of any grading outcome.
Estimated grade: 3 (2–4) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $220.00
Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with significant handling — no sharp points remain, placing this firmly in the VG to VG-EX range at best. The card surface shows what appears to be a diagonal crease running through the lower-left to center area, consistent with a VG (3) or lower grade; if that line is a printing artifact rather than a crease it would push toward VG-EX (4). Edges are worn and slightly frayed. The 1940 vintage card stock is consistent with expected aging, with moderate color retention but noticeable gloss loss. Back is not visible, so any additional staining, writing, or creasing on the reverse cannot be assessed — range widened downward to account for that uncertainty.
Estimated grade: 2 (2–3) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $231.10
Centering appears roughly 70/30 left-to-right and 65/35 top-to-bottom, which would normally be acceptable for a mid-grade, but the seller explicitly discloses creases and at least one is visible in the lower-left quadrant area; surface creasing is the dominant grade-killer here. Corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding consistent with a VG or lower card - all four corners appear soft with no points remaining. Edges show wear but no major chips or tears visible. The image art itself retains some color vibrancy, but gloss loss is apparent and the card body shows surface distress consistent with significant handling over 80+ years; the disclosed crease(s) cap this firmly in the Good-to-VG range (PSA 2-3), with the crease visibility and corner rounding pulling toward the lower end.
