What books are you all thinking of sending in? Stinks that there are a lack of quality comic book photo covers to choose from.

I had considered this book, but not sure I want to ruin the OA..

Talked with CGC today about the Hugh Jackman SS and they said he hasn't signed ANY of our books. He's hard to get a hold of and they have been very diligent. They told me back in Oct that he signed my books in May but that was false. I was told by 3 people at CGC that he signed them but he hasn't signed any.  It's becoming really frustrating lol. Here's hoping he can get to signing! 🙏

I feel like people may be missing information that has already been shared in this thread and / or posted in CGC's site.  I too have been waiting patiently for this signing so I understand everyone's frustrations.  So, let me repost information that I hope will help ease everyone's frustrations / anxiety about this signing.

1)  First of all, CGC is not hosting this signing - Celebrity Authentics is.  CGC is just partnering with them to help get our books graded.  CGC, thus, is not in control of this signing.  Below is from the original announcement CGC posted on their site:

CGC Joins with Celebrity Authentics for an Exclusive Private Signing Event with Hugh Jackman!

Posted on 10/27/2022

Get ready for an exciting Private Signing with the spectacular Hugh Jackman!

CGC is excited to team up with Celebrity Authentics once again to give fans an exclusive Private Signing opportunity with Wolverine himself — The Greatest Showman and one of the rarest and most sought after autographs of all-time, Hugh Jackman. Jackman will be donating all proceeds from the signing to charity, making this an extra special signing event!

“Celebrity Authentics is honored to have been selected as the exclusive autograph representative of Hugh Jackman for his only autograph signing,” shares Joe Lamothe, Celebrity Authentics President. “Of all the signings we could possibly host, Hugh Jackman has always been one of the top three on our list. Demand for this signing could be unprecedented.”

“It’s no surprise that Celebrity Authentics was the one to secure an autograph deal with one of the most respected actors and entertainers of our generation, Hugh Jackman and we are excited to be able to work with them in presenting this rare signature opportunity to CGC fans,” adds Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Making this even more special is that Mr. Jackman is donating all of his proceeds from this signing to charity.”

2) glowbug27 posted the following back on 11/08.  I marked out parts that are not pertinent to the signing.

When I spoke to the rep at Celebrity Authentics they explained that while the actor's strike is going on Hugh CANNOT sign which seems counterintuitive because he would have the free time. However, because most of the items he will be signing will be affiliated with his acting work as Wolverine, he is not permitted to sign as part of the strike. That stinks because when the strike is over the studios will be rushing to get everyone back to finish work on the movies they have been working on (including Deadpool 3) so Hugh will likely be tied up for months after the strike ends. I feel like 3Q 2024 is the earliest we will get our signed books back

3) atrocitus posted a screenshot back on 12/05 from Celebrity Authentics stating Hugh Jackman will be completing this signing in February 2024 after he wraps up filming Deadpool 3 in January 2024.  I tried to copy / paste the pic here but the site won't let me for some reason.

 

Just hang tight everyone.  Hopefully come March / April, we will all be posting pics of our Hugh Jackman signed books!  And the wait will be totally worth it!

Judging by his IG status, he's on vacation mode, not signing mode.

Are you kidding me...the man gets to play Wolverine, his whole dang life is a vacation! :headbang:

Is it really a surprise anymore? If you hope to get your Wolverine books back in time for the big CGC signing you're SOL.

Okay so I know this is our right impossible.  If the signing takes place late April early May, it will take over four weeks to grade the books, plus additional weeks to get the CA stickers.  IF it does happen, you're looking at late June, early July before any book come back from grading.

 

But we know that it's not to happen....in late April or May.
