CGC Joins with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Robert Pattinson!

CGC is joining forces with Celebrity Authentics to bring fans an exclusive Private Signing opportunity with one of the rarest and most sought-after autographs for fans and collectors, Robert Pattinson.

After his role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Robert Pattinson quickly became a film standout at the age of 19. He would soon reach greater, international heights of fame with his lead performance as Edward Cullen in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight franchise. His unrecognizable role as an explorer in the amazon jungle in The Lost City of Z (2016), which brought him much critical acclaim. Then, his transformation into a sleazy, manic conman in the gritty crime thriller Good Time (2017) earned a six-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and brought him a nomination for Best Actor at the Independent Spirit Awards. 

With this incredible success came frequent requests for autograph appearances and signings, yet Pattinson chose to focus on his career and craft. He continued with a leading role in Christopher Nolan’s time bending spy film Tenet (2020) and in 2022, Pattinson brought his career to a stellar new fandom with his acclaimed performance as the DC Comics superhero Batman in Matt Reeves’ film The Batman.

“We are honored that Robert Pattinson chose Celebrity Authentics to exclusively host his first, and very possibly, only autograph signing. He hasn’t signed over all of these years and feedback is that this may prove to be his only signing,” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “Being able to share this signing with CGC and their amazing collectors just makes it that much more special.”

"Celebrity Authentics has a history of delivering the biggest celebrity names, and it’s always been a pleasure working with Joe, his team at Celebrity Authentics and, of course, their rare signing guests,” adds Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. "Robert Pattinson is certainly one we’ve all been waiting for, so being able to assist our collectors in obtaining his signature is something we are certainly proud to deliver.”

To help create a special piece, Pattinson will also be completing Personalizations, Character Names and Quotes on items for an additional fee. For more information about these options and additional product options, 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 Saturday, November 19, 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 Pattinson 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.
