SANTA CRUZ X POKÉMON TCG BLIND BAG 8.0" X 31.6" | COLLECTOR SKATEBOARD DECK

Santa Cruz x Pokémon TCG Blind Bag: the mystery skateboard deck that celebrates 30 years of Pokémon cards

Santa Cruz and the Pokémon Trading Card Game celebrate the card game's 30th anniversary with a skateboard deck that you buy like a pack: a sealed blind bag, a deck in a random design and the thrill of not knowing which one you got until you open it. Inside you may find any of the 30 designs, each featuring the art of a Pokémon TCG card, or one of the 3 Gold Chase variants, limited to 500 units each worldwide.

WHY THIS DECK STANDS OUT

It is not a deck with a Pokémon graphic: it is a card turned into a deck. Each design starts from the art of a real Pokémon TCG card, and the blind bag format brings the experience of opening a pack to the deck. Every bag also includes a limited-edition Player's Guide with the 30 designs and the 3 Gold Chase variants, so you know what you have pulled and what you are still missing. It is a piece made for collecting and for anyone who wants a deck nobody else has at the skatepark.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

If you are buying it to collect, open it with care and keep the bag and the Player's Guide together with the deck. If you are going to skate it, fit trucks and wheels suited to an 8.0" deck and put on fresh grip tape.

SANTA CRUZ GUARANTEE — SINCE 1973

Santa Cruz Skateboards made its first skateboard in 1973, thanks to surfers Richard Novak, Doug Haut and Jay Shuirman in Santa Cruz, California, and has been one of the most recognised skate brands in the world ever since. Its Screaming Hand, created in 1985 by illustrator Jim Phillips, is one of the most recognisable graphic icons in skate culture. This collection celebrates 30 years of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, born in Japan in 1996.

HOW TO USE AND CARE

• Store it in a dry place, away from humidity and direct heat sources.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun to preserve the graphic.
• Do not leave it in the car or in places with sudden temperature changes.
• To display it, use a wall mount that does not squeeze or warp the wood.
• If you skate it, check the hardware and the condition of the grip tape regularly.
