waynelhc is the eBay seller for this auction (eBay Item #130213963793):
“Christopher Reeve Cape from Superman”
High Resolution Archive: waynelhc eBay Listing – “Christopher Reeve Cape from Superman“
Description:
Christopher Reeve Cape from “Superman” Warner Bros., 1978.
The iconic bright red cape with the big yellow “S” patch affixed to the back that Christopher Reeve wore as he portrayed Superman in the blockbuster seventies film. A handwritten notation reading flying cape pretty good damage appears on the inside lining of this piece that has been purposely distressed with a number of holes and dirt stains and a color still showing Reeves attired in the cape is included as well.
This particular cape was used in many of the flying scenes of the movie and is much more rare than other capes worn in the movie. Not the normal cape, this cape contains Velcro slits to allow wires to pass thru the cape and attach to a harness that lifted Mr. Reeve into the air. It also uses several snaps to affix the cape to the back of Mr. Reeve and allow it to stay securely attached to him during the shoot.
With the new movie “Superman Returns” already in theaters, this piece of memorabilia will no doubt be increased in value as the years go by. With the recent resurgence of comic book popularity in the last 5 years, with such films as: X-Men, The Punisher, The Hulk, Elektra, Spiderman, and the new Batman movies, Superman Returns will no doubt re-energize the popularity of the old superman series starring Christopher Reeve. Own not only a piece of Hollywood History, but an American Icon beloved around the world from people of all ages!
Right out of the Collection of Historic Auto Attractions in Roscoe, Illinois.
