Cover art featuring the late Christopher Reeve and Richard Prior make Superman III highly collectible and a favorite amongst VHS collectors.  This rare factory sealed 1987 release is exquisite and features nuance and extras that set it apart.  Our example features the ultra rare “Superman’s Fiftieth Birthday” sticker displayed near the base.  Additionally this copy features the white Warner Home Video watermark cascading beautifully in horizontal sequence across the front and back.  It’s important to note the absence of the recycle logo on the reverse (copies without the recycle logo are preferred by collectors as many believe those with the recycle logo are later Superman releases).  Finally, the reverse includes a vertical overlap seal.  We consider this to be the best 1987 example of Superman III to hit the market.  Many collectors will look to upgrade, and a bidding war is almost certain to ensue when this high-grade VHS hits the auction block.  Encapsulated by VGA (85), #76467162
