Fake Blind Boards

About two hours after I made my last post about the scumbag selling fake Blind boards he ended all the auctions. Don't know if the two things had anything to do with each other, but I would like to think so.

Gonz Skull and Bananas Fake

Yesterday I was looking at some old boards on eBay and to my surprise found one seller that not only had all of the Blind Powell Spoof series, but had two sets of them in mint condition. These boards are pretty rare and almost unheard of mint still in the shrink wrap. The description read that these boards were from a "friends collection", but what made me real suspicious was this "SALES ARE FINALE!! NO RETURNS AT ALL!!" It didn't take long after looking at the pictures to figure out that these were fake. The Gonz has the biggest give away with the fake board not having the black outside boarder. Other give aways include the fact that the shapes are not even close to the originals and that the front hole patterns are wrong. It's sad that the seller is trying to pass these off as "the real deal", but it's even sadder that people are bidding on them. Here is a link to his eBay store Make sure to drop by and let him know what a scumbag he is.

Wheel Bite's Classic Board Collection

I stumbled across Wheelbite.com's impressive collection of old skateboard decks today. These are a few of my favorites but make sure you head over there and check out some of the shapes on the old Zorlac boards. They are amazing!!!!!

Hand Drawn Wes Humpston Deck

I'm to lazy to write something witty or funny so here's what the description says.
"WES VERY RARELY DRAWS ON HAND-MADE SOLID WOOD BOARDS SO HERE IS YOU CHANCE TO ADD ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION AND THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF HIS BEST TO DATE - 30" X 6.5" AND HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF WES' ART - THE CLASSIC DT CROSS, WINGED-MURF, WH INITIALS, FLAMING SKULL AND CROSSBONES AND IS SIGNED BY WES. THE COLORS ARE STUNNING AND THE YELLOW SHADING IN THE DOGTOWN SKATES LETTERING MAKES THE BLACK REALLY STAND OUT. THE BOARD IS BEAUTIFULLY HAND-MADE AND SHAPED WITH ROUNDED RAILS, WEDGE KICKTAIL LIKE THE ORIGINAL 70'S HAND-DRAWNS AND HAS A GORGEOUS DIAMOND-TAIL."
Currently going for $415.03 here.

Sleazy Metal Chics Rule!!

I found this a couple days ago on my way to River Gods. Best piece of graffiti Ive seen in a while.

Stickers

Most of the time I see the same stickers on eBay. This seller has a lot of random and forgot about ones still at very reasonable prices.

Jason Lee and Adam McNatt Claudia Schiffer decks!

Well hot dog! Look at these two beauties! To be perfectly honest I could really give a crap about the Adam Mcnatt, but that Jason Lee is one of my favorite graphics ever. Probably has more to do with the time in my life when it came out vs the actual graphic. I do agree the two decks do go well together in this $3499.00 eBay auction, although the whole Blind set would have been better. Here is what the seller had to say about them.

"Greetings collectors. Here you go. 2 of the most rare skateboards in existence, available together--as a set. As you may or may not know, longtime skateboard artist, Sean Cliver, originally drew the graphic on My Name is Earl star Jason Lee's deck for Adam McNatt while he still worked at Powell Peralta. Upon his departure, Steve Rocco at World Industries asked him to redraw the graphic so that they could release the it universally on all 5 Blind pro models. At the time, World Industries was a much smaller and swifter company, and they released the graphic long before Powell could even go in to production with it. The move forced Powell Peralta to come up with a new graphic for the Adam McNatt pro model--which was eventually drawn by John Keester. I guess Adam McNatt had his heart set on having an image of that time supermodel Claudia Schiffer on his first pro model, because that's exactly who you see on both decks."
