Tony Hawk and his unique trading card collaboration

The 12-time world champion Tony Hawk always has his way of giving back to his skateboarding community and his fans. The “Birdman” recently gave his Instagram followers and other fans to own his limited edition and tangible trading cards.

What is so unique about these cards? Trading card website ABD Collectibles, with whom Hawk has partnered for this opportunity, recently shared a video on their Instagram account. The video features Hawk performing his evergreen 900 skateboarding trick on an unknown ramp. In this video, Hawk then revealed the secret behind the “Last 900” cards.

“The ramp surface that I did this on, we changed shortly after. I made that working with ABD they cut up the sheets and put them in training cards,” explained Hawk. However, since it is the 900 trick, only 900 Hawk fans have the opportunity to buy these cards.

He further said, “You can own a piece of the ramp, I did my last 900 on. Each one was signed by me. And there are six tiers of activity, so whenever you order one, you don’t know what you’re gonna get. So, everyone’s chances are equal.” The skateboarding legend surely knows how to create interesting proposals for his fans and make them a part of his historic journey.
