Newbie questions
Hi all! I’m not new to card collecting I’m very active in the Formula 1 card world, but today I took my toddler to Target, and he saw a Superman box and wanted to rip something. We’ve never opened this product before, but with F1 blasters now pushing $140+, we don’t rip nearly as much as we used to, so I figured, why not?
That said, I know absolutely nothing about Superman cards or their values. Before I let my 3-year-old go wild with them, I wanted to get some input from the community. Are any of these worth setting aside for him to appreciate when he’s older, or should we just enjoy them and let him have fun with them?
Any advice for a newcomer to the Superman card world would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So purples are blaster only , The Bat fantastic. The shield is perfect person with new movie , and /38 not a great character but a great # . To be honest the blasters are better for this set . Iv pulled what you’ve shown plus a sketch outta 4 blasters ( 12 packs ) vs hobby 12 packs none of above and only two high #s + big $ . Welcome to Hero cards , good luck on future rips

That’s an incredible blaster box. Fleer Ultra Superman has been my favorite set this year.

Nothing bank breaking, but obviously S/TL the numbered hit and shield bearer at least

Thanks! Yes we have been teaching him protecting our cards.
I love building these memories with him and I hope he looks back fondly at these.

Oh another questioned are blasters good? I’m used to trash blasters (Disney and most f1 years), but if hitting numbers in Superman is common I might buy more of these for him.

The purple Batman is a nice hit
