Authentically signed George Reeves material is very rare and very collectable. There are dealers in the USA offering basic signed album pages for as much as $3000, though I would suggest that they are being very, very greedy at this level! In the UK a beautiful 8" x 10" portrait (not as Superman) recently fetched £1100 (plus buyer's premium). As Superman you could expect to pay a multiple of this. My advice with any premium priced material such as George Reeves is to be VERY, VERY CAREFUL. High prices attract the forgers like jelly attracts wasps! Don't rush in. Do your own research using Google to find examples. Only buy from the most reputable of dealers. Remember that as much as 80% of the "autographed" material on Ebay is forged. Ebay have been repeatedly told about this by outraged reputable dealers but do almost nothing to police their site, saying it is simply a "venue".
"The Adventures of Superman" (1952-1958)
George Reeves; but Gone with the wind wasn't a television series, only Superman was. GWTW was a movie.
When the movie opens Scarlett is talking to the Tarleton Brothers. The one on the right is George Reeves who plays Superman in the TV series of the 1950's.
George Reeves, who starred in the 1950's Superman television series, died June 16, 1959 of suicide by gun. Some believe he was murdered. The film "Hollywoodland" (2006) tells his story.
Kirk Alyn had a cameo in the 1978 film, Noel Neill and Jack Larson both had cameos in "Superman Returns", so George Reeves would probably have appeared in something for Superman as well if he had still been alive.

George Reeves is famous for portraying Superman in the 1950's. Steve Reeves was a famous bodybuilder in the 40's. Despite the same last name, they were not related.
Before TV came into being, there was a Superman radio show. It ran from 1940 to 1951. Bud Collyer was the voice of Superman for the show and portrayed him for more years than any other actor.It looks like Kirk Alyn was the first actor to play Superman on screen, in the 1948 film serial Superman, and its 1950 sequel Atom Man Vs. Superman.The first actor to play Superman on TV was George Reeves who played him from 1952 to 1958 for the TV show Adventures of Superman. Note that Reeves had already played the Man of Steel for the 1951 movie Superman and the Mole Men.Joel Nestler played the teenage Clark Kent in the first TV episode, thus he actually appeared on screen before George Reeves in the episode so it might be argued that Mr. Nestler was the first TV Superman, but Reeves probably appeared before the start of the episode during the title sequence so the argument on that technicality would still fail.
