Damaged Merch–Could it be the New Collecting Craze?

This Skate Board has honestly been haunting me for some time now…it has been listed on e-bay multiple times and I really wish someone would buy it just so I don’t have to see it again! While this is the only one I have ever seen, the condition on it is terrible. But maybe with the reemergence of jeans with intentional rips and holes in them, perhaps damaged video game merchandise items will be the new rage for collecting?
