Collectable gold and silver coins

A true fairy tale began 60 years ago, when Alfred Mosher Butts invented Scrabble, the game that later became not only one of the most popular games in the world, but a true American icon. Scrabbles anniversary was marked by the unique Diamond Anniversary Game Edition, offered at an auction at clothesoffourback.com.

The anniversary set features over 30,000 Swarovski crystals, each of them handpicked to match the colors of the real-life sized board. Some of the innovations offered to Scrabble fans and players by the new Diamond Edition include curved letter holders, a rotating base, side trays and tiles that remain in place regardless of the boards position in space.

The box holding the game has been signed by movie celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel, Aisha Tyler, Skeet Ulrich, Seth Green and Daniel Kellison, who also took part in the Under the Stars charity Scrabble event held at the end of June. The games board, designed by

Hasbro, one of the biggest toy manufacturers, is so shiny that during the presentation of the Anniversary Edition, the person holding it had to wear sunglasses. The auction of the diamond game set is expected to bring more than USD 20,000 slated to go to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital to help children with cancer.

If you enjoy Scrabble, have the money and the passion, the Swarovski encrusted game set will not only make you unique, it will also give you the satisfaction from knowing that you have helped many sick children!
