CGC Joins with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Anne Hathaway!

CGC is joining forces with Celebrity Authentics to bring fans an exclusive Private Signing opportunity with acclaimed actress Anne Hathaway. Winner of an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award and Prime-time Emmy Award, Hathaway is among the most sought after actresses in film. She is perhaps best known to the comic world for her role as Selina Kyle / Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and Disney’s Alice In Wonderland films.

To help create that special piece, Anne will also be completing Personalizations, Character Names and Quotes to items for an additional fee. For more information about these options, visit CelebrityAuthentics.com.

“For some time, we’ve worked to secure a signing with Anne, and we are excited to be able to finally announce a signing with her,” notes Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “This will be Anne’s first and only signing that we have scheduled, so collectors won’t want to miss this truly rare opportunity to add her to their collection. We are equally glad to have our friends at CGC being a part of this truly special signing."

"CGC has enjoyed a longstanding collaboration with Celebrity Authentics, who were among the first to champion CGC Signature Series,” shares Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. "We are honored to work with Celebrity Authentics and the extraordinary list of talent they continue to make available to fans each and every year.  Featuring the first ever autograph signing with Anne Hathaway is certainly a great way to end 2021 and prepare for the new year!”

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, January 14, 2022.

If the CGC Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.

After Hathaway signs the submitted books, CGC will grade and encapsulate them with an estimated turnaround time of six weeks. If CCS pressing is also requested, the turnaround time is estimated at eight weeks. After grading and encapsulation, the collectibles will be shipped back to their owners.

The CGC Private Signing fee for Anne Hathaway is $350 per item and includes:

• Anne Hathaway’s signature
• Estimated turnaround time of six weeks for CGC grading
• Estimated turnaround time of eight weeks for CGC grading and CCS pressing (an additional $20 fee applies for CCS pressing)
