@chrismiller-uf7lj Great question! The best answer I can give is that it depends. In the long run I don’t think it will make a big difference. But for now, once the shrink wrap has been removed, most buyers consider the deck to be used and expect a discount. Some companies are now using resealable bags instead of shrink wrap, so that changes things a bit. Thank you for the question, and Keep Pushing…
Definitely pure 80s. I didn't start skating untill 1985 and I think we were already taking off everything but the rails. My first 2 boards had all that stuff. *Aww man, I had to take off my nose bone to put on my jaw bone! 😆 thanks, great video!
Thanks bro, awesome comment! I’ve never used a jaw bone before but just picked up an ODI from ‘85-‘87 and want to try it out on a build coming up. Maybe an old school shaped Ripper or something similar
That really turned out nice, Christopher. I have the Green Dragon on the Yellow dip. Im hoping to build it out soon and tbh I hope it turns out as sick as yours did!!
Thank you! The yellow dip Cab is AWESOME! I’d like to see how your’s turns out, always open for inspiration! Have you seen the Powell Peralta puzzle of the yellow Cab? I saw it on the Powell site recently but it was already sold out. I greatly appreciate your comment, Keep Pushing…
If I could I would build both. The blacklight series of decks appeals to me in a different way from the standard reissue decks. When I was younger I would trace the outlines on some of my decks with highlighters so they would stand out under my blacklight. These add to that and then some. The standard reissues are more nostalgic for me.
Mostly just dead weight, but there are a few benefits such as protecting the graphics, helping the deck to last longer (chips and razor tail), and you also have something to grab onto when needed. I appreciate your question.
