Ok here is the deal. I have these two decks i have cherished since 2003.
The decks are 2002/2003 limited edition Mainland skate decks. One has a bus and the other is a Impala. These are actual graphic decks not painted on.
here is the kicker, Both decks are autographed by the 2003 Girl skateboard co. team.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Skateboards
the 5 autographs on both decks are as follows:
Rick Howard (was with DC shoes and founded Girl skateboard)
Mike Caroll (was with DC shoes and co founded girl skateboard and was featured on SKATE video game)
Paul Rodriguez Jr. (featured on Tony hawk video games)
Jereme Rogers (featured on Tony Hawk video games)
Rick McCrank
You can find Bios of these guys in the WIki link above.
I need to know the value of these decks and need to find a good place, website, etc to sell these on. Was wondering if anyone had any insight on the value and the best place to sell these.
Thanks

Those are 2 sweet decks!
If I had some money I would of given you an offer.
I reccon that as a normal deck costs about 70$ you should be able to get 150-200$ for each one easily.

Just remembered something, maybe you should ask this guy
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=172236
He's Ryan Sheckler's dad! (or at least I think) His name and address correspond to the wikipedia info.

Hang onto them...check what the 'vintage' late 1980's early '90s decks are getting on ebay. I've seen $500+ for complete boards. Wish I'd kept mine.
On ebay now...deck only starting bid $825 ouch

Your decks are a little too new school for me to know...you may want to check here, see if they pop up.

Seriously these old things get pricey, glad my dad decided to hold onto this one:
Seen them go as much as 1500 |
