So at worlds I traded my 888x for a black 888 and a blue Popstar. The 888 has a small bearing, and Dif-Pad sized recesses for response. Anyways, I like this 888, and was wondering which version it is. Let me describe it.

Small, a-sized bearing
Dif-pad sized response recesses
What looks and feels like Delrin hubstacks
I know it’s not like me to post pictures, but unfortunately, I’m unable to load them right now. I’m intrigued by this yoyo, as it’s my favorite 888 I’ve played thus far.
888’s aren’t as collectible and valuable like they were a long while back. Most people nowadays haven’t played a real 888 not these made in china 888x’s. It’s a better Yoyo than the china one is but it’s not really worth a ton.
Yep should be a Stealth. Stealth/Shadow are the only 2 non highwall small bearing 07 888s I believe? I probably should’ve picked one up when I had the chance but the last inexpensive one that I saw was around at the same time that I was super disappointed in my various highwalled 07 888s so I wasn’t in a mood to purchase any more 888s at all. I suppose the good news is that 888 values in general seem to have taken the opposite trajectory of Peak values so some pretty neat rare ones can be picked up for what I think are really fair prices.
Congrats on the trade, I’ve never played an 888x and have no desire to but I’d imagine the Stealth plays substantially better (I only own 07/08 888s and they’re all awesome) and it’s definitely worth a whole bunch more.
Does is possibly look like this?
