CGC Partners with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer

He’s perhaps the most beloved Batman of all-time, is certainly one of this generation’s greatest actors and he’s signing for CGC. In conjunction with Celebrity Authentics, we are pleased to offer this rare opportunity to submit your books to be personally autographed by Michael Keaton. His film work continues to immortalize his iconic status in the world of pop culture. His return as Batman in Andy Muschietti’s, The Flash, and a reprising role in the upcoming Beetlejuice 2 continues to further enhance his legacy.

“For years we have worked to get back to the table with Michael and while his signing days are seldom, we are glad to be able to secure this rare signing opportunity with him. He’s certainly one of the few whose legacy in film makes him one of the most sought-after autographs in comics” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “The option of now adding Michael Keaton onto books with our additional pre-order guest, Michelle Pfeiffer, creates a once in a lifetime opportunity for Batman fans." adds Lamothe.

For almost 15 years now, Celebrity Authentics has presented some of the rarest and most historic signings in the collectibles and memorabilia industry, but few can rival their newest exclusive, the incomparable Michelle Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer’s career spans over four decades and she became one of Hollywood's most bankable stars during the 1980s and 1990s. With over 60 film credits, she’s been in numerous hit films including The Fabulous Baker Boys, Frankie & Johnny and Scarface, Batman Returns and most recently Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Bruno Mars sang about Michelle as “white gold” in his 2015 Uptown Funk hit, further continuing her pop culture status as an icon. With such a resume, there is no surprise that she is one of the most sought-after autographs among fans and collectors.

“We are honored to present Ms. Pfeiffer for her first and only scheduled autograph signing and we are equally excited to share it with our friends at CGC.” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “Recognized as perhaps the most iconic Catwoman in film, she has remained a priority on our top wishlist and to finally get her to sign, well, let's just say she is someone no fan or collector should miss!” adds Lamothe.

Keaton and Pfeiffer will also be autographing a wide selection of photos, posters and much more for Celebrity Authentics. Place your pre-orders for these by visiting CelebrityAuthentics.com. Submissions for this signing will be capped, so be sure to submit before the limit is reached!
