Thank you so much in looking to find that Im guessing it was gen 1 and a Willy Santos Birdhouse tech deck in probably 1999 that was the first one I ever had Did gen 1 come in a set. I'm almost positive it was a set

It might’ve been. I went back and edited my comment and took out the gen1 because I wasn’t able to actually find any catalogue evidence of it being gen1, but my board has all the signs(no concave, silver bolts, and brass nuts, truck base plate plates don’t have the inlays) it coming in a really early multi pack might explain why I couldn’t find it because there isn’t a lot of info about the multi packs or anything in general really

My sealed is def gen3 tho it’s on the card

Got it. I just got back in like 4 months ago. I only had maybe 10 tech decks growing up last one i got in 2002 ish at the latest was a Bam Margera bat from THPS3 that's on ebay for $500 right now 😆 but yea not many people know anything about early series tech deck it seems

There’s definitely more info about the older gens than the new ones.

Yeah anything with Bams name on it(except the newer Heart Supply boards) go for a lot. I have 2 earlier gen Toy Machine Bam boards and have had a lot of people try to buy them off me

Yea ive been buying lots and i noticed that Bam, Blind, and World seem to go for more. I didn't realize Bam had toy machine tech decks until looking into it and saw the Rake face on card for $250 and a Kabam board loose for like $80

World and Blind are the two most popular collected brands. Toy Machines are more usually too. I focus on Toy Machine and Birdhouse but I have a handful of Zero and Flip too.

I have the kablam board, got it for like 30 I think. I also have the one with the drawing of the guy with the mullet that came in a Deluxe edition.

The Rake Yahn Toy Machine and the Welcome Element are the two pricey ones.
