George Reeves Signed Superman Photo

Item Description

  • A framed black-and-white photograph of George Reeves, the actor famous for playing Superman in the 1950s television series Adventures of Superman.
  • The photo is signed by George Reeves and comes with a Certificate of Documentation from AAA Authentication Company, New York, NY.
  • The frame includes a black and gold plaque labeled "SUPERMAN".
  • The item is in excellent condition.

History and Significance

  • George Reeves (1914–1959) was the first actor to portray Superman on television. He played the role from 1952 to 1958, making him a beloved icon in early superhero history.
  • Reeves’ signature is rare due to his tragic and early passing in 1959, making autographs highly collectible among Superman and vintage Hollywood memorabilia enthusiasts.
  • Authenticated Reeves signatures are particularly desirable, with TV-era Superman items being valuable.

Estimated Value

  • George Reeves’ signed memorabilia varies significantly in price, depending on:

    • Authenticity & Provenance: Your piece includes AAA Authentication, which adds value, but higher-tier authentication (PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett) would strengthen its legitimacy.
    • Condition: The photograph appears to be in excellent condition with no noticeable damage.
    • Market Trends: Verified Reeves signatures in comparable framed displays have sold for $1,000 to $3,500, depending on auction dynamics.

    Estimated Value: $1,500 - $2,500, possibly higher if re-authenticated by a top-tier authentication service.

Recommendations

  1. Additional Authentication: Consider submitting it to PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett Authentication Services to increase credibility and potential resale value.
  2. Proper Storage & Display: To maintain value, keep it in a climate-controlled environment and avoid prolonged exposure to UV light.
  3. Auction or Private Sale: If selling, consider listing it through a reputable auction house (Heritage Auctions, RR Auction) or a specialized collector’s platform.
