Screenmatched Superman/Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) photobooth photos from Richard Lester's superhero sequel Superman III. During the film's opening, Clark Kent ran into a photobooth, which captured his transformation into Superman, so he tore off the bottom photo and handed it to a child. This lot screen-matches to close-up shots of the torn photo strip in the film through the slightly askew angle of the top photo, a small print error on Superman's neck in the torn-off bottom photo, and the finer details of the tear itself.

Printed on glossy paper, the four black-and-white photos show Kent removing his glasses and civilian clothing to reveal his superhero costume underneath. Each photo is surrounded by a thin black border, and the bottom of the strip is intentionally torn. The upper-left corner of the torn section has bent slightly over time and the strip exhibits very light edge wear. Dimensions (largest): 6" x 1.75" (15 cm x 4.5 cm); (smallest): 2" x 1.75" (5 cm x 4.5 cm)

Estimate: $7,000 - 14,000
