by Neil A. Cole

If an original Superman costume worn by George Reeves or Christopher Reeve is a little out of your price range, a few props associated with the Man of Steel's pal, Jimmy Olsen, are currently up for bids on Ebay.

The props are all featured in one lot and were used by actor Marc McClure in his role as Jimmy Olsen in the 1978 blockbuster, "Superman - The Movie."

Items include a screen-worn black jacket that was worn by McClure during the Hoover Dam earthquake sequence; a prop Nikon balsawood camera used by McClure throughout the film; and a crushed Nikon camera which was destroyed during the Hoover Dam earthquake sequence.

The auction lot also includes a letter of authenticity written by McClure as well as 2 autographed 8X10 stills of the actor as Jimmy Olsen alongside Christopher Reeve as Superman.

If you are interested in adding these one-of-a-kind items to your Superman collection, visit Ebay.com to place a bid. Bidding starts at $1,999.95.
