Nineteen stars from Star Wars, Star Trek, The X-Files, The Matrix, X-Men and Rick and Morty are crossing the multiverse to join CGC Signature Series for a private signing!

CGC Signature Series and Twin Cities are pleased to announce an exclusive Private Signing event with 19 stars from popular sci-fi films and television shows, including Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Files, The Matrix, X-Men and Rick and Morty!

Comics and cards can be submitted directly to CGC using the instructions below. Other collectibles, such as posters, props, Funkos and other items, can be submitted to Twin Cities for signature.

CGC must receive all submissions for this event by May 8, 2026. The deadline for international submissions is two weeks earlier than the US deadline to allow time for delivery. If the CGC Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be held.
