As shown in a previous post, the Supermen of America Member Prize ring is the rarest and most desirable of all Superman rarities. And with only about 15-20 of them known to still exist, I am asked what the next Best would be. Well, you have come to the right place my friends.

As we progress through the hierarchy of Superman artifacts, it all begins at the beginning. Don't look so confused.

Take a breath and feast your eyes on this one.

Here is the 1941 SUPERMAN GUM RING. Five gum wrappers and .20 cents got you one of these. A substantial goldish brassy metal with a removable top to expose the secret chamber. The iconic image original image of SUPERMAN breaking chains around his chest and the letter "S" for SUPERMAN is the feature atop this ring that will let everyone know who you are. And you can't be a SUPERMAN if you don't have one of these. It just can't happen.

The Overstreet Toy Ring Price Guide valued a near mint example of the SUPERMEN of AMERICA - MEMBER Contest prize ring at $120,000 in 1995, and this ring came in second at $50,000.

The only problem today is there are approximately just 9 examples of this ring known to exist. And this one is a Beauty.
Enjoy the view!
