The Cab you have is a very rare reissue under the name Powell Skateboards. It's hard to pin down the actual year of this particular reissue because this deck has two different roman numeral dates on it. On the bottom you have MCMLXXXVI ( 1986) and then under the logo on the front you have MCMLXXXVIII ( 1988) which is an anomaly in itself. It's not rare for re-issues to have two different dates with one showing the original date and one showing the date of re-issue, but the fact that your deck has two dates that don't exactly seem to make sense based on the company history adds a sense of mystery.

At the end of 1991 Stacy Peralta left the Company. It wasn't until 2010 when Powell Skateboards was folded because thats the year Stacy came back.

Because of the fact that this Cab deck was reissued under "Powell Skateboards" in a completely unique colorway from later reissues, with a white base, yellow dragon and translucent chain motif behind the dragon it should carry a higher premium to the collector who is looking for rarity in a re-issue. Later reissues of a white base color Chinese dragon Caballero didn't occur until 2017 with a green dragon and black chain motif.

I would place the value based on the company history and scarcity between $600-$800 but as with all collectibles its worth is based solely on the value someone is willing to pay for it. If this was the final missing piece to my collection I would pay $1000 for it no questions asked.


All the above is pretty funny.
It’s a reissue, simple...
The values you’re swinging with are simply ridiculous.
6-800 ain’t never going to happen, let alone be 1K
Go back and do you’re homework before commenting like a pro....on reissues 😄


Yes it's a re-issue but a very rare one at that. Very rare and historically significant since its under the Powell name only, not Powell and Peralta as later re-issues were. There are not may of these rare early Cab re-issues out there, and certainly among the rarest.

As I wrote above the value of something to a collector is worth what they willing to pay for it.

OP asked what we thought it was worth and I gave an assessment based on what I would be willing to pay for it.


You may not like the fact that some people are willing to plunk down big money on something that you find worthless, but its people like me that are driving the market. It's people like me who preserve and maintain the values, driving prices and preserving the worth of collections.

I've found this pervasive provincial mentality of the skateboard community just a part of the hazards of collecting. You are not the arbiter of anything other than your own opinion, as am I but the difference is I have the wallet to back it up.

Synopsis for those with short attention spans:
If you don't like what I am willing to pay for something, too fucking bad.


Well, for you’re 4th post , this can count.
You drive the market...
Owkay...here we go...
The reissue you value is probably worth a little more then the market price it came when they released it. Being around 100 bucks.
It’s a crappy heat transfer and not that special tbh...
The whole Powell is on it without the peralta story, doesn’t have anything to do with the value.
If you feel like paying 1K for this thing, you’re nuts.
There’s not even something like reissue collectors...Let alone be a ‘collection’ of reissues...
But I could be wrong off course, since I’m only collecting those 40 year old skateboards....
I like you’re commitment, but again, do you’re homework before spending a shitload on crap...just because you have the money for it.
And switch to OG decks instead of those reissues.
That would be a very good start...


Denigrating a skateboard, any skateboard, even a re-issue is completely counter intuitive to preserving the legacy of skateboards and skateboarding manufacturing history. Saying OP's board carries no worth beyond what was paid for it is something I strongly disagree with. Calling it a "crappy heat transfer" and "not that special" is just reeking with snobbery.

I think his board is cool for what it is and the history behind it adds to that appeal. And that appeal gives it it's value. Maybe not to you and people like you, but it does to me.

I also strongly disagree with those that say "oh, that board is worthless, why don't you collect a real skateboard?"

One thing I have learned is that everything has value to somebody. Even that Vari-flex that was sold in the Thrifty's toy isle has value to someone. It does to me. That was my first board. I'd pay pretty much anything to have my old board back after I got jacked for it on Melrose Ave and Fuller when I was 8.

Yeah it's my 4th post here but you have no idea who I am nor the collection I possess spanning 40 years of skating. My collection contains originals plus subsequent re-issues. I have one-offs from the Powell factory never even issued to the public that I value just as much as the OP's re-issue which I find extremely cool and historically significant.

And just for the record Steve Olson taught me how to Ollie, minus the cigarette and beer he was holding at the time. I added that part of the trick much later. Steve is the fucking coolest.

Waaaaay too articulate.
Name dropping is spot on though.


BTW, if I had a 1 of a kind million dollar baseball card, and I ran it through my scanner, printed 1000 copies.........

They'd be worth the paper I used to print them on.

I'd sell anyone a copy of it for a grand though.

Then they could post their killer score on Facebook.

nope, I think he's right.

btw, I have some Powell reishs for sale - OG Hawk, McGill and a "Powell-only" Mike V.
Can do a good price. 800 each if you take all 3. I'll throw in a Cab shirt reissue. Pretty valuable to skate-historians, too - I bought it at a contest where I've seen Cab in person.

get in touch and we can discuss shipping and other details.
