Hi Sandro,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The Matt Hensley "King Size" deck for H-Street Skateboards was released in 1989. This deck, also known as the "King Size Hornblower," was Hensley's second pro model with H-Street, following his debut "Vista Pole" deck. The "King Size" featured a larger shape and a distinctive hornblower graphic, reflecting Hensley's innovative street skating style and contributing to the evolution of skateboard deck design during that era.
The "King Size" deck became iconic in the late 1980s skateboarding scene, symbolizing a shift towards more progressive street skating. Its design and Hensley's influence have left a lasting impact on skateboarding culture.
This deck is hard to find and commands a premium, with condition being of lesser significance than with other decks of this vintage. Despite its worn condition, this has a fair-market value of €800-1,200
