Half a million dollar skateboard collection

A SKATEBOARD enthusiast believes he has amassed the world’s largest collection – worth over half a million dollars. Skateboard mega collector Todd Huber estimates he’s spent over $100,000 on boards and related memorabilia – although recent valuations of the collection are more than five times Todd’s original spend. The 51-year-old, originally from San Francisco but now living in Simi Valley, California, had been keeping his collection in a one-car garage – much to his wife’s dismay. The 5,000 skateboards are now housed in a 30,000 square feet warehouse, which also includes a shop, indoor skatepark and, according to Todd, ‘the very first Skateboard museum ever in the world’.
