76 cm / 25 cm
Hi Sandro,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The Vision Tom Groholski "Skeleton" skateboard deck was originally released in the mid-1980s, around 1986. This deck was one of Groholski’s early pro models with Vision Skateboards, following his "Jersey Devil" deck. The "Skeleton" graphic, featuring a skeletal figure in a dynamic pose, became an iconic design of that era.
Over the years, Vision has reissued the "Skeleton" deck in various formats, including modern concave shapes and limited editions but the original deck remains of interest to collectors. Ones in unused condition can sell at auction for € 800-1,200; yours has a fair-market value of € 400-600.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
