Software developer PopCap Games has announced that the company, beginning today at noon PST, is launching the third wave in a month-long series of online art auctions giving consumers a chance to bid on items from the PopCap vault.

The charity art auction items can be found at www.ebay.com/popcap and include nifty items like a Plants vs. Zombies Dr. Zomboss original concept sketch, a Plants vs. Zombies zombies concept sketch on canvas, a Plants vs. Zombies zombie head costume, a Plants vs. Zombies zombie DJ painting that is 6-foot-by-6-foot, a Peggle Splork concept sketch, Zuma Blitz ceramic tea cup and saucer set, a personalized sketch to be done post-auction with buyer input, and a Bejeweled neon blue diamond that you have to see to believe. Opening bids for ALL of these items start at just $1.00.

Once the auction is complete, PopCap will donate 100% of all proceeds from the auctions to the Starlight Children’s Foundation in the United States, and SpecialEffect in the United Kingdom -- two nonprofits dedicated to helping seriously ill and disabled children.

Since a picture's worth a thousand words and video's even more persuasive, take a gander at the stuff up for auction and good luck.
