I’ve been in contact with two collectors who are seeking more information about the provenance and authenticity of their Superman costume parts.
The two collectors have sent me photos to publish on the Original Prop Blog as part of the ongoing series of articles about costumes in the marketplace attributed to use by Christopher Reeve in the Superman films of the 70s and 80s (see “Questions About Superman Costumes in the Marketplace: Authenticity, Sources, Quantity“).
