+ Welcome to the Art of Skateboarding Pricing and Collectors Guide
This guide has been put together to not only aid collectors
in valuating their collections, but also to act as a gallery of sorts
for the artistic talent that has produced some great works of functional
art that are more commonly known as skateboards.
For the majority of collectors, collecting skateboards and skateboard
accessories is done for sentimental reasons. It reminds them of days
long gone...the rush of adrenaline when they bombed their first hill,
that first backyard pool they skated, the halfpipe session that seemed
to never end, and most of all, good times with good friends. For that
kind of value, one can never place a price. However, for those that
buy, trade and sell these items, there is always a price! There is
money to be made, and more importantly, money to be lost if one is
not careful. This guide has been composed to be used as a reference
when pricing, trading, buying and selling skateboard decks and related
accessories. As it has been said many times, an item is only worth
what the market will bear. Someone might be holding on to a deck they
think is worth $1000's, but if it sells on eBay for $66, then that
owner was a bit off the mark. Hopefully, this guide will aid the serious
collector who "has been around the block", as well as help
new collectors from being "taken" by some not so ethical people out
there. We will continue to update as often as possible, and we hope
the collecting community will help us as well.
