This is truley a one-of-a-kind item that is up for sale.  This Sword & Shield marks the 10 year anniversary of a former BLIZZARD Executive that reached 10 years of employment at Blizzard in 2007.  For the past 5+ years I have dealt with Blizzard/BlizzCon items, I have NEVER seen one in person or up for sale online in the secondary market.  Due to the rarity of this item, I am pricing very high while taking offers from serious qualified buyers. 

This is an extremely RARE collectible from one of the 21st century's greatest games and employers.  If there were over 3000 Bronze Statues given out to employees in 2007 which sell for $1200-$1500, this is an easy 25 times that amount.  There are VERY few of these given out over the years.  The current/past employees cherish them as a priceless museum piece and reminder of their hard work and dedication over a minimum of 10 consectutive years.  How many of these do you think exist?  Back in 2007, there were only a few employees that made the 10 year sword and shield ceremony.  So there are only a few sets like this that exist and it is safe to say those other employees will not be selling theirs!

I only buy my Employee Items from x-employees direct.  All of my items are authentic.  At the winning bidder's request ONLY, I will give the original owner's name for added documentation.  I will not make this public for privacy concerns.  For additional verification of authenticity, please go to Blizzard's website about these items to see this piece on the 2nd page.  This item appears to be the exact one as shown on Blizzard's website. There is an unusual blemish just beneath the 3rd rivet on the left hand side of the shield in the Blizzard website photo.  The shield I have for sale here, has the same exact blemish...it looks like a greasy fingerprint that sat on the metal for so long that it is now permanent.

Google this item and read from several different articles written about this auction, how this is truly the first of its' kind to be offered in the public market...you will not see something like this again!  This is your one change to own a museum piece of HISTORY.
