Hi Mike,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The “Iron Cross” skull graphic was designed by artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ), Powell Peralta’s in-house designer. This graphic became one of the most recognizable in skateboard history. Released in 1983 and produced throughout the mid-to-late 1980s, the Hawk Iron Cross board was a hugely influential pro model. In 1986, Tony Hawk was already a rising star, and Powell Peralta was the most dominant skate company of the decade.
Your board has the “pig” style shape (wider, with a rounded nose and squared-off tail), which was typical of mid-80s "vert" boards before the more modern popsicle shape emerged in the 1990s.
This board can retail for between $600 and $700 but when it sells at auction, it usually brings a bit less, typically in the $400-600 range
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
