How much does a board cost?

There is no price yet. For comparison: the first Santa Cruz collection with Pokémon in 2023 cost around 100 USD per board. Back then there were 20 designs and 5 gold variants, each limited to 50 copies. How limited the three Gold Chase Decks are this time is not known yet.

What does this mean for collectors?

The 2023 gold boards were in high demand among collectors. If you want one of the three Gold Chase Decks, you need luck with the blind bag or have to go to the secondary market. Anyone hunting a specific design faces the same problem: buying here always means pulling.

pokelix does not stock the skateboards. We share new info on price and availability on our Discord.
