CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Rising Star Comic Book Writer Ram V

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing with award-winning, comic book writer Ram V. In just a couple of years, V has rocketed from self-publishing to writing for giants like DC, Marvel, BOOM! Studios and Image Comics.

His work for DC includes Catwoman, Justice League, Justice League Dark and a reincarnation of Swamp Thing. He has written series for the seriously sick symbiotes, Venom and Carnage for Marvel. V has also written the creator-owned series Paradiso and Blue In Green published by Image Comics. He is currenting working on the ongoing hit series The Many Deaths of Laila Starr for BOOM! Studios.

“We are beyond excited to have Ram join us from across the pond for this exclusive Private Signing event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “He has been a part of some major series during the last few years. We can’t wait to see the submissions for the event!”

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, April 29, 2022. 

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

After Ram V 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 Ram V is $65 per item and includes:

• Ram V’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)
