OAK BROOK, Ill., January 29, 2007 – Ready for the ultimate autograph experience? Sharpie® is offered this opportunity to connect with the stars – literally. The popular brand of permanent markers known as the autograph pen of choice unveiled a one-of-a-kind Sharpie marker worth more than $10,000 in Miami during the week leading up to football’s biggest game. Featuring more than 1,300 Swarovski® crystals and 65 perfect-cut Hearts On Fire diamonds, the “Celebrity Edition” Sharpie was auctioned off for charity in February of 2007.
