    Need a Superman collectibles expert

    I have been presented with an exciting opportunity. I was contacted by someone who has inherited a large Superman collection. From the pics I've seen so far, it is apparent the person collected anything Superman that he could find over many years, like at least 40+, and kept the majority of it MIP, MIB, MOC, etc. Anyway, the guy has given me exclusive access to the collection and I plan on making a 7 hour trip in 3 weeks to pick through the stuff. As stated earlier, I have several pics of the collection but he assures me that there is a whole lot more that he hasn't photographed that i'll want to see. I have contacted Hector and he is going to assist me but he told me there was someone here on the Museum that knew a whole lot more about Superman collectibles than him. He just couldn't recall the name. I am reaching out hoping to find that person. I need to know what pieces to target. I need to know rarity, values, etc. I am thinking about posting the pics here on this thread but I hesitate because I don't want it to become a cluster "you know what". Still, it may be the best way to learn about some of the pieces.

    *PICS NOW UPLOADED*

              I have heard back from MegoSteve with a lot of valuable information. Thanks Steve!

              I have decided to go ahead and post some pics here in hopes of gathering some more intel. I want to be armed with as much information as i can. Please know this is NOT a for sale thread. However, I don't plan on buying everything from the guy so if there is something that grabs your attention feel free to mention that you may be interested in the item and i'll do my best to grab it and contact you at a later date. I don't mind sharing the love but also keep in mind that several of these pieces are going into my collection . However, I do have a toy business and am more that happy to flip stuff. This deal may not even pan out. I'm trying not to get too excited but I will be devastated if it doesn't. It's going to be the longest 3 weeks of my life!
