| The Powell bug is one of the most sought after decks in the history of collection. It is almost as rare as a mint picachu card... E-mail me if you have a NOS one.. they are so pricey and soooo difficult to find. |

I got a very close to mint yellow one.
@Arbuckle: How often do you see this shape ??
I have seen two of them on ebay both wrecked but I see Tony Hawks every day

And there we are, I also noticed that but did not dare to post it as I am a real newbee in the collectors world.
Mine has a red 1988 Ripper on top, and also 1988 copyright on bottom.
Could it be that PP did them for a very short time only and the finally concerned the graphics to be unsellable. Thta deck is also quite small (very short)like the T. Guerrero pigs.
Any ideas ??

| the first bug, with the checkerboard background, was the one with the same old ripper/skull and sword team/generic shape in the "XT" model (oval dragon top logo). the second version was a more bulbous looking deck minus the hips and has a bunch of ants for a background (winged ripper 7-ply). both are fairly common and neither sold very well due to the shapes. the one extremely rare deck is the butterfly model seen on a few powell product posters back in the day--only a few prototypes were made and the deck never made it into the production line up. hope that helps... |

Yeah, Ialso would like to see a silver first model with a red bug on it.
hey lotforty, do you also remember in which colors the first one was made ?? I only have seen black,silver and blue until now, although I think to remember a red/pink one on ebay, is that possible?
Thanks
