RARE Vintage 1990s Platinum Skateboards Banner 43”x21” Closed Skate Shop Display For Sale

Absolutely. Since this came directly from a closed skate shop, I would make that part of the story. It gives the banner provenance and makes it more interesting to collectors.RARE ORIGINAL VINTAGE PLATINUM SKATEBOARDS SHOP DISPLAY — 43” x 21”This banner came directly from a closed skate shop and has been kept as part of a collection of vintage skateboarding memorabilia.Platinum Skateboards was a relatively short-lived brand from the late 1990s, making original Platinum advertising and shop displays increasingly difficult to find. The brand was closely connected to some of the biggest names and brands in skateboarding during that era.Platinum’s 1998 team included:* Arto Saari — who went on to become one of the most influential skaters of his generation and was named Thrasher Skater of the Year in 2001
* Moses Itkonen
* Jake Stewart
* Neal Mims
* Paul MachnauThose riders were featured in Platinum’s 1998 skate video Crimes & Misdemeanors. Danny Way is also part of the Platinum story. After the original Plan B folded in 1998, Way joined the Platinum team, while Armageddon Distribution continued carrying the brand. Arto Saari later recalled his time with Platinum as a short-lived but memorable period, including an epic Canadian tour with the Platinum, Plan B and Red Dragons teams.
