Hey everyone, I'm actually selling a 1954 Superman Lunchbox on Ebay, Apparently (just learned this) this is THE HOLY GRAIL (think 1952 topps mantle in excellent condition) of lunchboxes. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? Its listed at: Superman Lunch Box Auction

Mods, If this is a big no-no than I apologize but I just fould out all this info AFTER I listed it! A mint one of these is valued at $13,000! This was my father-in-laws lunchbox as a kid and it has been in storage since the late 50s. I'm just wondering if I should have gone some other route (other than Ebay)


ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

Yeah I found my matchboxes recently but they are SOOOOOO beat up! We really played with them a lot growing up! The only problem with this lunchbox is that it is missing the handle and has my father-in-law's name etched in the side!

that's probably equivelent to writing on the 52' topps Mantle! rolleyes.gif

Oh well, I went out to a bunch of lunchbox collector sites and emailed them inviting them to bid. It will be fun to watch how it all shakes out!

Enough collectors have seen it AND bid. I'll bet you have a few watchers as well... I believe you did right with ebay and the listing, everything considered you'll get FMV out of it.

Nice Find!!

That's a very nice lunchbox you've got - there's one ending today AND it's not as nice a specimen.

I see that this ended at $537.11.

Were you happy with this amount, azanmi? Did the buyer pay?
