CGC Partners with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Halle Berry!

Celebrity Authentics has just announced Halle Berry as their newest autograph exclusive and CGC Signature Series is thrilled to be working with them to bring this rare autograph opportunity to CGC collectors worldwide. Her breakthrough film role was in the romantic comedy Boomerang (1992), alongside Eddie Murphy, which led to the television film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999), for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. For her performance of a struggling widow in the romantic drama Monster's Ball (2001), she became the only African American woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the first woman of color. Halle took on high-profile roles such as Storm in four installments of the X-Men film series (2000–2014), the henchwoman of a robber in the thriller Swordfish (2001), Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002), and the title role in Catwoman (2004). She appeared recently in action films Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and made her directorial debut with the Netflix drama Bruised (2020).

Berry’s autograph signing with Celebrity Authentics will be her first and is said to likely be the only of her illustrious career. It is scheduled to take place in Fall 2024. “Since our launch some 15 years ago, Halle Berry’s signature has been one of the most requested and we are thrilled to represent her exclusively for her genuine signature”, shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “Who else can tout being a Bond girl, Catwoman, Storm and in the John Wick franchise but versatile Halle Berry? 

For this exclusive signing, 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 Sunday, September 22, 2024. 

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

After Berry signs the submitted books, CGC will grade and encapsulate them with an estimated turnaround time of six weeks. If CGC 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. 

*Please note that turnaround times may extend past these estimates as the comics will need an additional hologram sticker provided by Celebrity Authentics before being shipped out to customers.

Berry will also be autographing a wide selection of photos, posters and much more for Celebrity Authentics and you can place your pre-orders for these by visiting CelebrityAuthentics.com.
