The collection is complete.
What collection, you ask?
Enjoy Skateboards has a collection of Presidential decks. There are five in total. They have Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan,John F Kennedy, and Hillary R. Clinton.
That’s right, there are five collector series decks, and there are not a lot of people that know about this. I have the complete set of five.
Why though?
I have the unfortunate thing called “Collector’s Impulse”. I’m not sure if that is a real term or not, but I am giving it to myself. My dad collected Vicente Fernandez tapes. He had suit case after suit case full of tapes, a lot of pirated ones, but he had every single recording ever made from the guy. Where did this lead him? Nowhere. I haven’t heard from him about anything related to anything outside of immigration.
However, he instilled in me this longing to collect stuff. Not just any stuff, things that will appreciate in value over time. I have comic books that are worth a lot, and while people make the argument that they will not sell, I make a case for them because of Ebay and the way you write. You can convince someone about your product if you love your things in a fashion to write.
Sales is hard, but if you convince the reader that what you have is not only precious, but has sentimental value, they will buy.
Don’t believe me?
I sold my wrestling video collection, one tape at a time for around 2,000 dollars in grand total of sales on ebay. The pirated ones I sold independently for over 500 dollars. I’m not an idiot. I took what my dad did and applied it to a science of thought and ideology that seems to befuddle most.
So without further ado, here is the collection, from Enjoi skateboards. I have the complete set, and if Mrs. Clinton becomes president, I will be cashing in. If not, I’ll wait for Bubba to die and the Mrs. Clinton to pass, and I’ll have gold mine of pop culture, and that always sells in nostalgic circles.

A Ronald Reagan skateboard? That should be a collector’s item all by itself.
Vicente Fernández tapes! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH!! COUGH! COUGH!
My dad (R.I.P) used to love collecting that man’s albums! Was a big fan, and said he had one of the finest voices, except when he spoke in interviews.
I totally want to burn a few of them, mostly the democratic one’s. How much did ya pay for the set?
Ahhh. I collect Bowen (Marvel) statues. They’re probably worth a pretty penny. (I have Storm, Dark Phoenix and Gambit full size statues–and a whole bunch of busts.)
Need to buy more….
(Thanks for stopping by)
Dude, the skateboards are sweet….I would hold off like you were saying though. Not sure if Billary will make it to the oval office again, but Bill is not so healthy these days so you might just be able to cash in sooner than you think.
Thanks for dropping by and commenting the other day! We want a wii really badly…but are students and have to save up too. sigh…soon enough, I hope. soon enough.
I don’t even skateboard, but I could see myself paying a fair amount of money for that Ronald Reagan board, I could hang it on my wall! Although, shouldn’t they wait a few years until, you know, Hilary either gets elected, or you know, DOESN’T (Oh please don’t let it be her!!!). I guess its going to happen, though, isn’t it…
I hope someone will pay for it..i have it up for sale in a full set of 5..but no one wants all five
