As some of you already know I collect mainly Hosoi and Powell decks.
After years and collecting and countless thousands of dollars spent I am officially done with my search for Hosoi decks. This is as far as I can continue. I have had conversations in the past with the resident Hosoi expert (ultrphage) and several others of you and decided that the other decks I am missing are either too rare and hard to find or I'm not willing to spend the kind of money it takes to obtain them. It took me 5 years to pull the trigger on a Collage. So for what ever the reason I'm done.
I have had lots of requests in the past to post some pics so here they are in order as best I know. While this does not represent all my Hosoi decks I didn't want to bore anyone with duplicates.
In the coming months I will be selling a chunk of these to focus on other collecting wants. Please don't PM me about them as I do not know yet what decks will make the cut.
Thanks to those of you who have hooked me up in the past on some of these.
Please feel free to add your own Hosoi pics.

Exactly my point, there are way too many rare ones put there.
The Tuff Skates, Sk8 Kulture, Focus, & Milk stuff is SO hard to find. I was very lucky to get the NOS Tuff Skates deck I have. I'm sure there are more out there but it's the only NOS one I have seen.
Ultraphage has some sick rare stuff he got from Hosoi in the jail years to help pay for lawyers.
I'd love to see more prototype, one off, or ultra rare stuff... |

I'm not much of a collector but I'm loving that collection. Pic # 4 isn't showing up though. I believe it has the Tuff Sk8's and Milk you mentioned. |

wowzorz!! nice stuff..i'm digging quite a few of these..that red SkullSkates "MAX" model is really sweet..even the stickers on the nose are a nice touch..i remember having a fucking HUGE stack of those Hammerhead(deck shaped and the black/white one)stickers bitd.
i dont have any of my old Hammerhead decks that i used to skate..only one i have right now is this rider..i love it.
