CGC Partners with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Colin Farrell!

CGC is thrilled to join Celebrity Authentics in bringing fans this rare Private Signing with the incomparable Colin Farrell. A leading man in blockbusters and independent films since the 2000s, Farrell has received various awards and nominations, including two Golden Globe Awards and a nomination for an Academy Award. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023. Farrell stars in the upcoming HBO Max series, The Penguin, which follows the transformation of Oswald Cobblepot from disfigured nobody to noted Gotham gangster.

Farrell’s autograph signing with Celebrity Authentics will be the first of his illustrious career and is scheduled to take place late Summer, 2023. “Colin’s been on our list to work with for some time but the timing couldn’t have been more perfect to work with him then now, as his role as the Penguin comes to life in its own series,” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President.

“As Colin reimagines the Penguin on screen, CGC fans can now have his rare signature in their collection and that’s what makes this hobby so special - and our continued collaborations with Celebrity Authentics so rewarding,” adds Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director.

Farrell will also be autographing a wide selection of photos, posters and much more for Celebrity Authentics. To place pre-orders visit CelebrityAuthentics.com.

For this exclusive event, ALL CGC members, including free CGC members, can submit books directly to CGC headquarters in Sarasota, Florida. CGC must receive all submissions for this event by Friday, July 7, 2023.
