Anyone here know vintage skateboard decks? I was researching an old Jeff Grosso board on the internet and saw there are some reproductions of the Alice in Wonderland board made. I bought one of those boards back in the late 80's and it has been hanging as a decoration in my mom's attic ever since. Any idea what an original is worth now? There are a couple smudges and some cracking around the front bolt holes where it was screwed to the wall. I'll put some pics below. Thanks for your time and input!

And that one is a reissue. Here's what they have to say:
This deck is a reissue of infamous "Alice and Wonderland" Santa Cruz deck . 8" by 31" and models around the original shape. Handnumbered 28/50. Sold out in one day. Red Stain bottom with Orange stained top. Brand new in shrink. There is only a couple of the original decks available so this will make a great wall replacement until you can muster up over 2k and find the OG. Brand new and still in shrink.
I'll buy your for $200 :D
shaZam!, they have a Jeff Kendall for 1300!!!
I dug out my old Mike McGill. It's slightly more beat up than the Jeff Grosso ;) It does still have it's Tracker trucks and Bam Bam wheels :thumb:

Any other blasts from the past?
I wish I had some of my old boards, my first was a second hand Tony Hawk birdskull. That was back in '88 I think. The last Powell I had was a Ray Barbee.
My brother's old Steve Caballero should be kicking around my parent's basement somewhere unless my Dad chucked it :thumb:
