In the GPK shocker of the year, GetAGrip Skateboards revealed John Pound as the last mystery artist as part of their Artist Signature Series Blind Bag skateboard decks. There are five total decks, limited to /50 each from five different artists. Each deck features past artwork from these artists, along with a matching autographed card from that artists. I’m not sure how the folks at GetAGrip got it done, but they somehow were able to get original GPK artist to sign 50 autos. Pound has refused to do any GPK work for years now. Pound’s last work for Topps was signing autos for the Chrome 2 set in 2014. Topps has since attempted to get him to sign autos for other Chrome sets to no avail. The skateboard decks went on sale at 1:00 PM EST for $189 each and quickly sold out. These are sure to be hot items on the secondary market once they ship.
