I watched Superman 1 & 2 as a kid like 3 times a day as a child.
I would love to own those.
Even if this is staged, I think it’s pretty educational. I think they sometimes bring these artifacts in, to show people that these pieces are still out there, and what it’s worth
they probably own this suite and sell it themselfes under a different name, after the expert calls out the riddiculous price for them..
It’s not actually staged. I mean… if you go to the store in Vegas you won’t probably find Rick, Corey and Chumlee. What happens is that whenever someone has something very interesting that they want to put in the show, they’ll come and do the negotiation in front of the cameras.
Definitely worth $250,000!!!
Maveric073 he bought it for 300k
The guy who owns it rn
Yeah for piece of nylon? Come on… Its worth it only for colector “freaks”… To me thats 250K that can be invested much better. (and people wonder why theres famine and poverty around the world…)
Martin Budinský Oh my god shut up
@Randomraspberry Dont see any reason to…
Does anyone think he just brought that costume to the pawn stars because it’s a famous show watched by A LOT of viewers thus getting himself noticed and generate potential wealthy buyers??
Ok buddy
Kool Aid or because he’s a paid actor lmao
That’s be a really clever marketing strategy. Imagine all the collectors that are looking for him
Well this video alone has 5 and a half million views…
So I’d say he’s done a good job of it!
of course, and pawnstars got a great episode out of it. Win win for both. Probably knew in advance he wouldn’t get asking.
Let me get my buddy who’s an expert on 1978 super man movie suits
😂😂
(Rick goes to a movie theater)
“Hello sir, welcome to our theater. It will be 10 dollars for a ticket.”
Rick: “Hmmm, I’m not sure the tickets are worth that. Let me call in my expert on movie ticket prices.
@TheStapleGunKid I’ll give you $9 for the movie ticket. It’s the best I can do. I’m taking a huge risk here.
With the quality of movies these days, that’s actually not much of an exaggeration 🙂
who then looks for the tag with C Reeve & studio number, like no one else would think to look for a sew on tag
A collector would’ve bought that for a million dollars
yeah i bet
Leo Castrillo It was sold a couple of years ago for like 300,000 dollars
I doubt it. Not much memorabilia goes for that much.
Sure Super Man is a well known film, it doesn’t have the same cultural importance like other classic films.
@Locutus I disagree. Superman was THE most relevant superhero movie ever and to this day it stood the test of time for many good reasons. 👍( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛👍)
They usually sell for 100,000 but this one sold for 35,000, but a cape did sell a while back for 200,000 though. But it won’t be worth a million for another 20 to 30 years.
Expert: I wouldn’t touch this with my hands
Rick: I’ll get someone to help you carry it out *taps the costume*

Tickle I noticed that
he meant bare handed thats why he wore gloves
@Louie Smith r/woosh

Oh wait…
Everything else aside Christopher Reeve was a class act. Truly a Superman to the end.
He was, and for me, the only Superman.
I love how he looks at it in awe, calls in an expert to confirm its authenticity, offers a terrible price, and once they say no he’s like “Hit me up if you change your mind.”
I mean it’s a pawn shop, that’s how they make money.
Other people have said it, the owner was probably just trying to advertise what he had. No practical reason he would take something worth so much, and wanted by many potential buyers, to be literally sold at a pawn shop
I’d rather have the green crystal that formed the Fortress of Solitude. Seeing what that did was one of the coolest things I ever saw in a movie as a kid. It’d be the perfect set piece for a home, and that costume belongs in a museum.
Agreed!
That crystal is one of the ultimate movie props.
The final buyer of this costume was Batman for 300 grants. He burnt it immediately after and used the kryptonite crystal as a suppository!!
i would shed a little tear of joy if i actualy saw this thing, its my favorite movie of all time, so i have seen the suit on film a million times
He’s right that there was more than one suit made for the film. According to the late Christopher Reeve, there were about 25 of them made. Each one was for a different action, whether it was flying, walking, wire work, etc.
So we are just gonna ignore how Rick has a friend for basically everything?
And everyone in vegas
He doesn’t have all these friends. The producers do. They seek out professionals and hire hem as part of the rotating cast. It’s a TV show. This is mostly fake.
It was appraised at 250k and Rick offered 200k as an opening offer. That blew my mind. I was expecting him to offer 150k at most based on all the other clips I’ve seen.
Well this is highly collectible
It was appraise at “A significant value in excess of $250,000” That’s a big difference from 250k
Ya same I didn’t expect him offering 200
Rick probably thought he could get 300k or better at the right auction.
Well it’s superman so it be an easy sell.
The customer who owns the Superman outfit does have a great point. The costume itself is not only authentic, but it is the rarest one of them all that you can find, and it is completed with a full legal paperwork that says the suit is legit. And if Rick were to get his money back from the suit, he would have just resell it at an auction and without a doubt, he is walking home with half a million dollars and that’s double the money he is gonna get it back. I mean, it’s obvious that a lot of Superman fans would be crazy enough to empty their wallets just to own such memorabilia that is considered a great legacy for their collection.
Last place you would take this is a Pawn Shop. This is something that would go to a top level auction house. This just feels like a set up staged for TV
If you want rapid money
The folks in the shop are really good actors. They really capture being extras
It’s absolutely AMAZING that Corey, Chum and Rick know random facts about every single thing that is brought in there. Somebody must play a lot of Trivial Pursuit
Yeah, or, yk, the episodes are scripted…
The amount of stuff that Corey knows about Superman is respectable.
