The Index Card in front of the Spiderman Uniform reads:

Original Mint In Box Ideal Captain Action Spiderman

Produced for one year only in 1967, a Captain Action Spiderman accessory costume still mint in the box, as seen here is considered one of the rarest of all toys made, with a value of up to $20,000.  It has been estimated that a mere 25 copies remain.

 That number has now grown by one. 

Prior to this show, the example shown here was unknown to collectors, having been put away exactly as purchased 37 years ago.  All of the costume and play pieces are absolutely original and mint, still attached to the inner backing card.  When purchased as a discount item from a department store, the special Spiderman Vari-Vue flicker ring was missing from the package, but a correct factory original is now included. 

This stunning rarity is featured within the April 2nd issue of Toy Shop  magazine.  It will be auctioned on eBay, beginning Sunday, April 4th, 2004, ending the following Sunday, April 11th, 2004.  Left bids form qualified buyers are also being accepted here at Altantique City.
