There is a fine line between collecting and hoarding.  Check with your spouse.

There is a fine line between collecting and hoarding.

Some people don't realize you can only ride one at a time. That's why I only have 1 skateboard - the clay wheel Hobie I bought in the 60s.

I remember using those clay wheel boards in th '60s.  They were not rough road friendly. And the trucks and wheels did not last very long.

They did wear and you felt every bump in the road. I don't think I had the box for mine. It was a plain wood one - I suspect my dad bought it out of some employees trunk on the cheap. They were made around the corner from Belanger Headers and Covico steering wheels. VitaPakt was a huge local citrus company with packing houses in about every town around here. They eventually shipped everything out of Covina. They still have offices in town but I suspect once all the land is converted to housing they'll limit their SoCal operations to their big tank farm in Ontario where they process all the orange juice they get from Brazil.  https://www.surfertoday.com/skateboarding/the-day-vita-pakt-juice-company-got-into-skateboarding
