The suit managed to sell for a whopping $35,000, 10% more than the suit’s original estimate. Christopher Reeve wore the suit in the 1987 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. The suite includes a blue knit leotard, a red cape, and iconic red pants. Besides this, a wax mannequin of Christopher Reeve as Superman was sold for $4,625.
This suit is from “Superman: The Movie”, not “Superman IV”, so it’s expected to sell for a lot more.
