Garbage Pail Kids 'Adam Bomb' x Santa Cruz Skateboard Deck

This is a skateboard deck featuring a highly recognizable graphic from the 'Garbage Pail Kids' franchise, specifically the 'Adam Bomb' character. The deck is predominantly a bright, metallic gold color, giving it a striking and visually impactful appearance. The graphic depicts Adam Bomb, a character with an orange explosion emanating from his head, seated. The 'Garbage Pail Kids' logo is prominently displayed at the top of the graphic, and 'ADAM BOMB' is written in a yellow banner beneath the character. The deck appears to be constructed from typical skateboard deck materials, likely multiple plies of maple wood, with a smooth, glossy finish applied to the bottom, which carries the graphic. At the tail end of the deck, the 'Santa Cruz' logo is visible in black lettering, indicating the manufacturer. This collaboration between 'Garbage Pail Kids' and Santa Cruz suggests a specific release, likely appealing to collectors of both skateboarding memorabilia and 'Garbage Pail Kids' merchandise. The deck exhibits some minor surface wear, including what appear to be light scratches or scuffs, particularly visible on the gold finish, which is common for skateboard decks, even if unused or lightly used. There are no trucks or wheels attached, confirming it is just the deck itself. The pre-drilled holes for truck mounting are visible at both ends. The overall condition appears good, with no major chips or cracks discernible from the image. Given the detailed graphic and manufacturing branding, this item likely dates from a more contemporary period, representing a specialty or collector's edition within the past two decades.
