I bought this skateboard deck from an ad in a skateboard magazine when I was a fifteen. I never put trucks or wheels on it. I have always just kept in hanging on my wall. There is a misprint on the deck itself. The printing on the circuit board does not correctly connect near bottom of graphic. The Circuit Board deck is the green version, and I did apply two stickers to the bottom of the deck, both are from the same time period (Kryptonics and Gullwing Stickers), I never tried to remove them, worried I might mess up the graphic. As a teenager, I put the stickers on the board to try and cover the misprinted graphic. The board has a few scratched and some silver paint on the top side, the scratches were on the board from shipping and the silver paint I always figured was from the production on the board. The board has never had grip tape installed on it. The 40 year old board is pretty much just like it was when I bought it.

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Haro is primarily known as a BMX company founded by Bob Haro in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, Haro expanded into skateboards, especially during the BMX–skate crossover boom. This kind of tech graphic was very popular in the mid-to-late 1980s, when arcade culture, early home computers, and BMX/skate crossover design heavily influenced board art.
Kryptonics was one of the most important early skateboard wheel manufacturers (1970s onward). By the 1980s, their branding appeared on various decks and components. Seeing both Haro and Kryptonics together reflects the era’s component co-branding.
Based on the market for these boards, one in this unused condition - with slight misspellings - would likely sell at auction for between $600 and $800.
