Each card has been graded by PSA. Presented is a 72-card complete set of R145 Gum, Inc. "Superman" non-sports cards issued in 1940. With its 2.74 GPA, this assembly merits "#16 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry; one of only thirteen complete 1940 R145 Gum, Inc. "Superman" sets on the PSA Set Registry! Superman was an instant success following his creation in 1939, and he has endured for three generations as the most popular super-hero of all time.
