Christian Hosoi “Vault” Jim Philips Monk Graphic 1990 Later Released! Was told it’s a 2012. Rare find/Not sure on Release Date… On this guy, Any input will help. I know it’s not the Cease & Desist one. It’s made by Santa Cruz for sure! The Monks “Hands are white & “little lion guys are a light blue.. Skated some, but great survivor piece. Graphics good, see pics. A few “hairline” scratches: Pics 1-5. Had trucks mounted so, see pictures for those areas: Pic 5. Paint not flaking or peeling. Grip removed clean, no adhesive residue. Tiny bit of top graphic affected, see pic #7. Board straight, no warps has big concave.. No wood stress lines. No chips or dings. Some skidding on tail. Last 4 pictures show rubs on edges, nose and tail. The legendary Christian Hosoi “monk”. One of the most highly sought after graphics of all time. The story goes that SC was going to issue this graphic for Hosoi, but he left the team right before it was going to be released. Consequently there was only ever 1 deck made, and that’s at SC headquarters. However, a few years ago, collectors with some deep pockets got the original artwork from Jim Phillips, and commissioned RainSkates to recreate the shape.
