MELBOURNE (AFP) - - A Superman costume worn by the late Christopher Reeve will go under the hammer in Australia this month, auction house Bonhams and Goodman said Wednesday.
Auctioneer Giles Moon said the costume, complete with the famous "S" logo, was being sold by an avid film buff who bought it in London five years ago.
He said it was expected to fetch 15,000-20,000 dollars (11,400-15,200 US) when it is auctioned on May 24.
"Superman costumes rarely appear on the market and are much sought after by collectors," Moon said. "Complete costumes have been known to sell for in excess of 100,000 dollars at auction."
