Thrasher Skateboard Magazine #8, August 1981 – near-mint

Description: Rare, pristine copy of the magazine that launched the next era of modern skateboarding in the 1980s. 🛹We are listing 6 issues of Thrasher magazine from 1981, pulled from our archive. This was its first year of publication and it was printed as a large oversize magazine that year (10"x14"). It is very unusual. It is very hard to find copies of this essential skate mag in such near-mint condition. Priced at current market value, but reasonable offers are considered. Price can be negotiated for purchase of entire lot or multiple purchases. This listing: Thrasher Skateboard Magazine #8, August 1981.Volume 1, No. 8 This issue was bought in 1981 and has been sitting in drawer since then. No wrinkles, tears, marks, etc. Pages 14 and 19 have black ink that is not quite as dark on the top of half of those pages. This was a result of less ink being applied on the printing press at the time of printing. (14/19 shared the same sheet of paper that ran through the press.) See slides 8 and 9. This issue has some yellowing which is natural due to age of the magazine which is now over 40 years old. This first year of Thrasher was in an oversize format and printed on newsprint, except the cover and sometimes inside cover which used a heavier stock. It measures 10 1/4 " x 14". We will post as many photos of the magazine as we can, but due to eBay image limitations we can't show every page. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Please see our other auctions for skate and surf-related goods.
