GUEST: This is endorsed to my father, Ralph Andy, by the inventors of Superman.

He was a young enlistee in World War II.

Somewhere in his runup to going overseas, he was at the Cleveland Stage Door Canteen where they entertained the troops before they were going overseas.

The guests were Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the inventors of Superman.

They drew a picture and endorsed it to my father.

Best personal wishes to Ralph Andy.

I found it in a closet.

It was all rolled up and you could see some of the wrinkles perhaps.

APPRAISER: It's a great piece and Siegel and Shuster did create Superman, but a lot of people think Action Comics #1 is his first appearance, but actually Siegel and Shuster did a five-part mimeographed fanzine called the Reign of Superman.

And that's kind of attributed to being the first appearance of Superman.

The pose that he's in is one of their favorites to do that.

Joe used to always love doing the profiles.

It's done in either pastel or crayon.

It looks like kind of a reddish brown crayon.

Most often I see them in pen and ink or pencil.

Drawings by Siegel and Shuster are desirable.

Not unusual because they did do a lot of them.

You usually don't see them signed by both.

It's more often signed by Joe Shuster and the fact that they were both there together is cool.

This is a nice large size profile image, which is something they did all the time.

The wrinkling, yeah, it's there, but you know, it's part of the history of it.

Generally, these things can sell in a wide range at auction depending on the size, condition, but for auction purposes, I would estimate it between $4,000 and $6,000.

GUEST: Oh, that's great.

My wife does not like this piece, and I've had to move it into our bedroom where she's even less happy about it.

APPRAISER: Yeah.

Well, I don't know how my wife would feel about having Superman hanging in the bedroom either.
