CGC Private Signing — Marc Silvestri

CGC Private Signing Event — Marc Silvestri

This is not a retail transaction. You are not buying a product off a shelf.

Marc Silvestri — founding partner of Image Comics and CEO of Top Cow Productions — is joining CGC Signature Series for an exclusive private signing. Best known for his run on Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine, Silvestri went on to create Cyberforce, Witchblade and The Darkness, and recently wrote, penciled and inked all seven issues of DC's Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo. A yellow label from this event isn't just authentication — it's a piece of comics history.

454 Comics is a CGC Authorised Dealer with nearly 20 years of submission experience. You send your book to us, we handle everything — CGC submission, signing, grading, encapsulation, and return to you. One price. No hidden fees. No international shipping for you to figure out.

⚠️ Submission deadline: Your books must be with 454 Comics by Friday 7 August 2026. CGC must physically receive all submissions in Florida by Friday 4 September 2026. Because we ship internationally on your behalf, we need your books in hand by this date to allow time for processing and dispatch. No exceptions — late arrivals cannot be included in this event.

📋 Signing Options & Pricing

• Marc Silvestri — Solo Signature: $270 AUD per item

Every option includes:

• Marc Silvestri's signature
• CGC grading — estimated six-week turnaround after signing
• Encapsulation in the iconic yellow CGC Signature Series holder

📦 How It Works

1. Complete your purchase
2. Pack your comic securely — no need to cut windows in bags, we handle bag preparation; if you want particular signature placement you are welcome to prep bags yourself
3. Send to: Kerrod Landis, 18 Jasmine Drive, Blacks Beach QLD 4740
4. We submit to CGC, your book gets signed, graded, and encapsulated
5. Your encapsulated comic is returned to you

🔄 What Happens Next

We communicate when there is something to report. CGC's estimated turnaround after signing is six weeks for grading. Once your book is encapsulated you'll receive images of your CGC case and an estimated return delivery timeframe.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Comics must be at 454 Comics by Friday 7 August 2026 so we can meet CGC's Friday 4 September 2026 receipt deadline in Florida
• Marker colour and signature placement are at the signer's discretion — colour requests are welcome but not guaranteed
• CGC membership credits and paid membership discounts cannot be applied to private signing fees
• If your book is already CGC certified, CGC will remove it from its holder for an additional fee and it will go through grading again — the grade is not guaranteed to remain the same
• All ungraded books must be in window bags — we handle this on your behalf
• Write MS on all sides of your shipping box and initial it — CGC requirement; failure to do so may result in your submission not being honoured
