If I lived in the States I'd probably buy pro boards, but I don't, and technically I live in poverty, so for me to spend 80 bucks on a deck seems foolish and financially irresponsible. I bought blanks for years, but I started to feel shitty about it, so now I always get shop boards.
I remember Moose and Better Made Blanks brands on ebay being half decent.. but then they disappeared or the quality went down I forget. Tiger and Cyres decks were pure garbage.
