Skateboard collecting is still a collector - collector activity without the dealer middleman. How long befofe that changes?
Once professional dealers get involved in skateboards, so grading will be inevitable.
I couldn't agree more. |

| I don’t know how it could work but man I wish there was something out there that could keep flippers at bay. Not fun to see people trying to flip stuff you’ve sold them. |

terrible idea.
such a hustle.
can costs more than a card is worth to be graded.
f that.
grading killed cards.
skate collecting has already jumped the shark.
they are reissuing the reissues.
lets not make things worse |

| That YouTube clip on selling fakes was interesting Danno. Worth a watch. Anyhow, this is just not realistic. Skateboards are too heavy to want to ship off for grading and authenticity, and certainly there are not enough “experts” that anyone would truly rely on for a grade. Also, once graded, you’d have to protect the board from sustaining any future damage, otherwise the grade wouldn’t be accurate. And what collector wants a board that just sits in a protective bag or box? You’d want to display it. Displaying in shadow boxes is pricey and takes up space. This is just a no-go, but I can see why it’s being discussed, and it’s a fair discussion for sure. |
