Rare George Reeves Photos Up For Auction

Above, one of the photos of George Reeves up for auction. 

It is interesting that a rare collection of publicity photos of George Reeves is now up for auction at Heritage Auctions, especially since we will be celebrating Reeves's 100th birthday (along with the 100th birthdays of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster) next weekend.

The current high bid at this writing is $600.

Most of the photos I have never seen before including this one (below) of Reeves with Lenore Lemmon.

They appear to have been taken just days before Reeves's untimely death on June 16, 1959, allegedly by suicide. The scar on his forehead from the April 1959 auto accident is visible on many of the photos. Most were taken at his Benedict Canyon home.

The group also includes a letter written by Reeves's mother, Helen Bessolo.

If I had the money right now, I'd bid on them.
