I believe I found this Chuck E. Cheese sticker already applied to the carpeting somewhere. I picked it up and stuck it to the back of something, and put it in my wallet where it hid for about 6 months.

This California Raisins button dates back to the very rad year of 1987. I’ve got those little PVC figures in the basement waiting to be photographed. What the heck is CALRAB? The California Raisin Advisory Board. They folded in 1994, and raisins have never been as cool since.

Stickers by the Yard, copyright 2002, designed by Tami Lovett and produced by Mrs Grossmans. I can’t remember where I got mine, but they came in an accordion folded sheet couple feet long. Not quite a yard though.

Kickers looks like it was the 70’s equivalent of Sketchers, only slightly more hip. May not be anthropologically qualified to make that statement, so I depend on UK readers to chip in here. Although that is Rod Stewart in heyday, who was much cooler than Kim Kardashian, Tori Spelling, Britney Spears and even Wayne Gretzky. It’s unclear whether the Kickers shoe brand ever had an actual skateboard team considering the lack of functionality in those high heeled shoes that look more at home on Slade or Rod Stewart than they do on anyone riding a skateboard. They did have a sticker though.

A Sonic the Hedgehog Cracker Jack toy promotion for Sonic Hedgehog 3, circa 1994.

Ellray Jakes and the Beanstalk was written by Sally Warner and illustrated by Brian Biggs. There’s one skateboard illustration on the cover, plus two on the inside. When my second grader finishes reading it, I’ll have him write a review. Can Ellray master the moves in time to win his friend back?EllRay Jakes may be the shortest kid in his class, and he may get into trouble from time to time, but he can always count on his best friends Kevin and Corey. But lately, Kevin has been skateboarding with the meanest boy in class. Could EllRay be losing one of his friends?Not giving up without a fight, EllRay asks his older neighbor to show him a few jaw-dropping skateboard moves—like ollies and kickflips. EllRay must learn as many tricks as he can before the secret boys-only third grade skate-off. But will it be enough?

An assortment of drinking glasses with skateboard imagery, two from restaurants and one from a food product. From Australia to the USA, from 1977 to 2002.

This is a panel that originally appeared in the Adventure Time comic issue 15, released in April of 2013. I found it in volume 4 of the omnibus edition. To my knowledge, Skateboard Princess has only appeared in this single panel of the comic book series and has yet to make an appearance in the animated series. OK, so it’s really just Princess Bubblegum referring to herself in the 3rd person as Skateboard Princess, but the wiki treats her as a distinct character. The princesses in this story helped Finn and Jake recover from a spell cast by perennial jerk Magic Man. He’s simultaneously one of the most annoying and enjoyable characters in the Adventure Time world. Speaking of frustrating jerks, whoever made the decision to eliminate show-specific sections of the Cartoon Network website is clearly related to Magic Man. I wonder how Pendleton Ward feels about it.

Here’s a trio of advertisements featuring Tony Hawk that range in date from 1999 to 2005. All of them are for non-skateboarding products and were taken from assorted comic books. Take what you want, but eat what you take.

This is the third appearance of the Disney character Goofy on Skate and Annoy. This time he’s on a Whitman puzzle from some point in the 70’s, or possibly even the late 60’s as this source places the first usage of the Whitman Kid logo as early as 1967. The board style in the illustration certainly has a 60’s, steel wheel look to it, even if S&A readers have seen that commercial illustrators tend to lag behind current trends a half a decade or more when drawing skateboards.
