There was minor wear and tear on the outfit, but no doubt it’s still the only thing to put on when you’re busy fighting a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. In November 2022, the complete outfit - tunic, cape, belt, a pair of trunks, leggings, boots and that classic “S” woven into the costume’s chest - was sold to a private collector by Propstore Auction for over $350,000. The same can be said for the value of the costume Reeve wore in three of the franchise films - including the 1978 original. The tagline seemed to say it all: “You’ll Believe a Man Can Fly.” Just as Superman the action figure and crime fighter ushered in the whole superhero Golden Age in 1938, Supe did it again 40 years later when the 1978 film, starring little-known 26-year-old theater actor Christopher Reeve (who got third billing after Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman), jump-started the genre, sending it to heights that have only risen in the decades since. In late 2012, one of these cartridges that was for some reason packaged in a blue box - making it even more rare, given that the game most often came in a red box - sold for more than $10,000 on eBay.Ĭourtesy Everett Collection Credit: Propstore Just the cartridge itself can go for a few grand.

The reason: One Tele-Games version of the Superman cartridge has the game’s title in yellow text along with a picture of the Man of Steel on it. Batman coloring pages are a fun way for kids of all ages, adults to develop creativity, concentration, fine motor skills, and color recognition. And yet, the standard and more common Atari version of the cartridge, as well as some of its Sears Tele-Games variants, can be gotten relatively inexpensively, perhaps for $10 or so on eBay. Part of the valuation comes from the 2600 Superman being notable as one of the first games based not only on a superhero, but on any licensed property, period. But was that fun worth paying thousands of dollars for? That’s the range where one version of this cartridge has been valued. If you remember playing the 1979 Superman game for the Atari Video Computer System (2600) back in the day, you’ll recall it was enjoyable enough.
