How does one measure supremacy?  In collector circles, the piece that reigns supreme is one that everyone covets yet no one obtains.  With affectionate deference to the Cobra Missile Command Headquarters, we are inclined to assign the primary ranking in the space to our subject – the Cobra Viper Glider.  For most, the prospect of finding a factory sealed and unaltered original is regarded as futile.  After all, the only examples are thought to be buried deep in “black hole” collections.   Further confirmation of it’s rarity is evidenced by the presence of only two unopened examples in the AFA population report.  It’s no wonder that the mystique of Viper Glider has taken on a life of its own. 

Nearly four decades old, this Cobra Viper Glider checks all the boxes.  Not only does it display spectacularly, but it’s also factory sealed receiving an impressive grade of 80+ by CAS.  Seasoned collectors know it doesn’t get much better than this. 

While many regard the recent months of the vintage collectibles market as “hot”, most experts believe that we are still in the dawn of the surge.  Thus we expect investment-minded collectors to play to win when this singular relic crosses the LCG auction block.  Encapsulated by CAS (80+, 80-85-85), #10153564
