You've got to start somewhere....post #1

Born on Krypton and raised on Earth, Superman is a being of immense power, strength and invulnerability who after realizing his destiny to serve mankind uses his powers to protect and save others.

This is card #1 from the official trading card set produced by Topps in 1978 to coincide with the release of the film. There were 2 series of cards produced for the movie.

Series one contained 77 cards and 12 stickers (6 of which were of the foil variety).
The Series two card set was released the following year in 1979.

What's 'Topps' about this card?
1. Come on! ..... It's the first card in the set

2. You can't beat that dazzling Man of Steel suit with the unique shade of blue

3. If you look close enough, it appears that they've photoshopped his waist...you have to admit he looks a little slim here...the days before 6 packs.
