I think it is 07’ or 09’ considering material(6061) but I’m not sure about it. Anyone can verify this throw? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/d/a/dab7b81648ead32c034e6edef9dff14ea6328e7f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/f/e/fe09fa785ec09671e6fba0abcd3ee2870aad9f37.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/5/9/597ddbfadaebee128c07f504e27396ac537d610f.jpeg) You can see “Yuuki Spencer” signiture on the cup, So…Is there any possibility that mine is a unique 07’ 888? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/2/3/23b8b4065f3799bc13f3f287743104db728a443d.jpeg) Thanks in advance ---

@pyrotechnic might have more info on this run. I believe he owns the 888 that yuuki used in this picture. ---

So…you are saying it is a 11’ not a 09’? Do you have a reference that I can trust?🧐 Thank you for helping me ---

2009 Classic 888 I think. This doesn’t have the response area bump the 2011 run has. ---

That link doesn’t load right It’s definitely a 888 classic based on engraving and the closed of stacks which was released in 2011 so I’m interested what the image shows in the link ---

Both of those photos were posted in 2009, advertising John Ando and Yuuki who were going to be at Japan Nats. I have no knowledge of any of this, I just shared that since you said the link didn’t work. ---

At one time I had 30 or so different 888s from 07’-09’ including a red 07’. I’ve never seen that 888 nor did I know it existed. Really nice find. @tigerbeatt i think you have a pretty collectible yoyo. ---
