My production run w/left justified "flipped" graphics.

So, I had this deck around 1992. LOVED the thing!
But then it cracked doing a lip slide on a double-sided curb/ledge.

For the 30 years I've held onto it I couldn't for the life of me remember which company it was, peeling the grip revealed no top graphic either.

The only thing I could remember was that it wasn't a slick, but rather a "waxed wood."  

Fast forward to last week when I was messaging with Manuel Fuentes, author of the book 92ish, who is currently working on a follow-up book 93ish and he's asking anyone to "Please submit pics to be featured on the book to 92sk8book@gmail.com"

Anyway, I was chatting with him about my mystery deck and he got back to me and found the deck in an old Italian skate catalog.
It's from an old company called Basic and it's the only deck not listed on Art of Skateboarding, you might need to be a member in order to see the link.
Catalog version.
Catalog Version right justified graphics.

As you can see the catalog version differs from my production run, my graphic is flipped.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Dreaming" by S.P.Y on the DI.FM channel "Liquid DnB"
