CGC Partners with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with John Boyega!

CGC is joining forces with Celebrity Authentics to bring fans an exclusive Private Signing opportunity with actor and producer John Boyega, who first rose to prominence in the sci-fi comedy Attack the Block in 2011. His international breakthrough came, however, with his role as Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy: The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and Rise of the Skywalker (2019).

Boyega is a rare autograph guest, and this is the first signing that he has agreed to add Personalizations, Character Names and Quotes to items for an additional fee. For more information about these options, visit CelebrityAuthentics.com.         

“The demand and neverending popularity for Star Wars continued with J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars prequel trilogy, and we are pleased to be able to offer fans this rare opportunity to add one of the trilogy’s lead cast members, John Boyega, to their collections,” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “We are looking forward to working with our friends at CGC to make this happen in 2022.”

“Our team at CGC is always excited to work with a Star Wars actor, but even more so with one as talented as John Boyega, whose role as Finn was so much a part of the trilogy’s storyline,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Joe and Celebrity Authentics always deliver some of the biggest names in film, and we look forward to working with them to help collectors add that special CGC-graded book to their collection.”

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 Boyega 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 John Boyega is $250 per item and includes: 

• John Boyega’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)
