A StarCraft battle chest signed by (the only ones I could read):
frank pierce - Senior Vice President
Brett Wood - Senior Software Engineer
Sam "Samwise" Didier - Art Director
Karune - Community Manager
Cydra - Assistant Community Manager
Dave Lawrence - ??

..and an array of dozens other signatures that remain to be unreadable (Mike Morhaime where are you?).

Close up of the battle chest: http://vgcache.com/images/630
The shirt: http://vgcache.com/images/629

I won these in Blizzard's first monthly Vespene Laughs contest. They haven't announced which place I got, but only the top 3 entries get a prize. Only the first month of this contest gets the signed battle chests and the months recurring get shirts/hats/posters, as far as I know.

Oh, the shirt is an XL so it is completely unwearable to me since that is 2 sizes too large. I'm probably gonna put the battle chest in a glass case since I'm hardcore like that.

Waay back in September. I even emailed them months after the deadline and got no response, which lead me to believe they canned the contest. Boy was I wrong.

I just might. I already have a bunch of Blizzard/StarCraft shirts and since this one can't be bought anywhere it kind of ups it's rareness.

Sorry for bumping my own blog, but I didn't want to make a new one for this post..

Does anyone know any good way of "protecting" the signed box? It may sound stupid but I like keeping my things in great condition. Should I plastic wrap the box?

Definitely keep in a dry and dark place(like a closet with no leaky ceiling). Double boxing with airbubble will also be a good idea.
