Jurassic Skatepark
About four years ago, when I used to have a lot more spare time, I was contacted by a guy in a dark alley who said he had unearthed a vintage skatepark in Pocatello, Idaho. OK that’s not entirely true. We had a mutual acquaintance on the OMA forum. There used to be thread on […]

ebay Watch: August 2011
So, welcome to eBayWatch, August 2011 edition. August was a fun month, with a lot of great looking decks going for some big cash, but the major talking point was probably the Grosso. I tried to show a greater variety of 70s decks this month, and I’m also pretty happy with the 90s selection that […]

So, welcome to July’s eBayWatch. July was a hot month with a ton of decks breaking the $1,000 barrier, and quite a few going significantly higher than that! There was a lot of variation this month, with some decks going off that you don’t see all the time. The exception to that would be in […]
