Corgi Juniors 50 Superman Daily Planet Leyland Terrier Van 1978 Carded

Vintage Corgi Juniors No. 50 Superman Daily Planet Van – Original 1978 Card

Superb original vintage Corgi Juniors Superman Daily Planet van, produced by Mettoy/Corgi in Great Britain.

This is Corgi No. 50, featuring the red Leyland Terrier-style delivery van with the distinctive side graphic:

“DAILY PLANET – SUPERMAN SAVES THE WORLD”

The model remains presented on its highly attractive original Superman illustrated blister card, featuring classic Superman artwork.

The packaging is copyright marked:

© DC Comics Inc. 1978

The Mettoy (TM) Co. Ltd., Northampton U.K. ©1978

The reverse of the card is also marked Made in Great Britain.

The model itself appears to be in excellent, unused condition, retaining bright red paintwork, clean wheels and excellent Superman/Daily Planet graphics.

The original blister remains present and attached. It does show age-related crushing, creasing and distortion.

The illustrated card displays very well for its age but has expected storage wear, including age toning/discolouration, marks, creasing, edge and corner wear and some bending to the card.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
