CGC Announces Private Signing with Seminal X-Men Writer Chris Claremont

CGC is excited to announce an In-House Private Signing with seminal X-Men writer Chris Claremont! He is credited with turning X-Men into one of Marvel’s most popular series and created numerous X-Men characters, including Legion, The New Mutants, Dark Phoenix, Rogue, Gambit, Sabretooth, Kitty Pryde and Mystique. Claremont also developed the character of Wolverine into a fan favorite.

“The thing I love most about conventions is meeting people. Even after these many years, it’s wonderful hearing you readers tell me how much my stories have meant. And while the coronavirus keeps us apart in person, I hope these signatures mean as much to you who receive them as they do to me making them. I hope as well it won’t be long before we can see each other again in person — because you readers are what make this whole game worth the playing,” Claremont said.

CGC is also introducing a bold, new X-Men certification label (below) that will be available for any books that come in via Claremont’s CGC In-House Private Signing. The label is available for all X-Men books that are submitted.

For this event, all CGC members, including free members, can submit collectibles directly to CGC headquarters in Florida.

After Claremont signs the collectibles, CGC will grade them with expedited turnaround times of three weeks for grading or six weeks for grading and pressing. Collectibles are then shipped back to their owners.

The CGC In-House Private Signing fee of $70 per item includes:

• Chris Claremont’s signature
• Expedited turnaround time of three weeks for CGC grading
• Expedited turnaround time of six weeks for CGC grading and CCS pressing (an additional $20 fee applies for CCS pressing)
• Encapsulation with CGC’s iconic yellow Signature Series label

Books need to be at CGC headquarters no later than Monday, July 6, 2020.
