How much is a skateboard worth if signed by pro?
There are many possible answers to this question. The bigger answer is that anything is worth whatever you can get for it. But I'll try for a more precise answer.
If you had a Tony Hawk signed skateboard from 2013 and it was selling in an auction to raise money and awareness for a good cause, like cancer prevention, there are people who would pay thousands of dollars for that board. If you put that same skateboard on eBay, it might sell for as little as $100, or as much as $3000.
If you had a Tony Hawk deck, the one that he landed the first 900 on in 1999, signed and certified, that board might sell for as much as $50,000. This is an arbitrary answer but it is based on evidence and knowledge of the skateboarding collectible marketplace.
If you had a Collin Provost Toy Machine model signed by Collin, it might sell for $50 or less, just because he is not as well known yet.
Other boards that might be worth more include anything that was ridden and photographed or otherwise documented, especially a momentous occasion. For example, a board that was photographed an on the cover of one of the skateboarding magazines by a well-loved skater such as Mark Gonzales, would sell for more, probably over $1000.
Also, any skater who has passed away, or otherwise unavailable to sign more boards, would increase in value.
A signed Gator board would be worth thousands.
A signed and authentic Jeff Phillips board would be worth thousands.
I realize that I haven't given a specific answer, but I don't feel that one is available, because there are so many variables.
The simple answer: anywhere from $5 to $50,000.

Are creature skateboards good for street skating?
"I think creature is more inbetween
cause most of the creature team skates
transitions but you do have a couple of
people who skate street on creature
like david gravette"
Listen. No. Your question shouldn't be "Is Creature a good skateboard for street, because it's based on the distribution company that OWNS Creature. So my question to you is; Do you like Santa Cruz boards? Do you like Flip? If so, then ride Creature. It's the same exact board with different graphics.
I use to skate a Flip and I hated them. But it's personal preference. What kind of board do you ride now? just check out the distribution companies and compare them with the wood you ride. I ride DLX Distribution wood. That would be the best wood out there right now. Anti Hero, KROOKED, and REAL. Best boards out there. For transition AND street.
