Maybe this board once had a sticker too, or maybe not

is that the same sticker as on the normal henderson?

no bids on the white lightning still,hes been told its worth around £350 or so but still lists it for over a £1k

@slackalice hi matey did you get my PM about the BB lollipop PDF ? Cheers Daz

do you think hes given up with the white lightening as its been relisted several times and he isnt moving on the price

A NOS Lollipop + pads + kneepads from France

ive seen that one before somewhere as i recognise the knot hole near the front truck

i also hate it when folk put "offers" its just a waste of time when he obviously knows what price he wants,probably £4k

when he first listed this benjy i posted about it being a joke price just to get folk watching before he altered it to a realistic amount,six months later i can safely say he was being serious! whats the point though? if it hasnt sold after 6 months then that should tell him something i reckon he could get £250+ even with the plastic badge,whats your values on it?

Yeh I think it was on eBay a bit back he's in France but it was somebody here in uk selling it a year since maybe

What is the general consensus on the BB plaques or badges for comp series of decks?

They were metal at first, (copper?) are the plastic ones remakes or did Benjy move on to these during production

I do remember the plastic ones being for sale on eBay for around £20

Someone on BDS site even sent me one for free as I had the deck but no badge at the time.

Evening Steve no the proper ones were a very hard glassy plastic sort of like a glassy perspex which were " plated" quite thin and we're sort of silver under the gold then a darker sort of copper colour base inside them repro one are a lot thicker and it's a softer plastic and the gold colour goes all through it and it's sort of a dull gold colour where as the OG ones were shiny gold and like you say looked like metal , I've one of the repro ones which were selling on eBay years back somewhere

the repros better than having nothing i suppose but the ones ive seen fitted never seem to fit the corners properly and leave a slight gap

If I were using one of the repro ones I'd sand it down at the back to make a lot thinner and see about getting a spray paint what was a shiny sort of foil gold

good idea,i forgot they are always too thick as well so stand proud of the deck,and you can get gold foil look paint nowadays,be interesting to see your idea carried out
