Powell-Peralta Ray Rodriguez Skull & Sword Gold Foil

Powell-Peralta Ray Rodriguez Skull & Sword Gold Foil

The Powell-Peralta Ray Rodriguez OG Skull & Sword Gold Foil is a reissue of one of Powell-Peralta’s most iconic early graphics. The Skull & Sword was the company’s first pro signature deck graphic, created in 1979 for professional skater Ray Rodriguez. Ray conceived the design, with the artwork illustrated by Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ) and art direction by George Powell. 

The Gold Foil version features the classic Skull & Sword artwork printed over a metallic foil background, giving the graphic a distinctive reflective finish. The deck uses a 7-ply maple construction, with a dyed-veneer top and hand-printed top logo.
