As I wait for my latest acquisition to arrive, I updated my yo-yo collection breakdown counting models by manufacturer. It doesn’t account for doubles (Duncan Gold Sparkle Imperial counted same as a Duncan Glow Imperial) but model design variations included (YYF Confusion different than YYF Hubstack Confusion).
What does your collection look like? Here is mine.
I think my breakdown still has a bunch of yyf and myy but otherwise it’s pretty diverse
I MIGHT have too many different manufacturers… 
Brand loyalty has not been super heavy in my decision making apparently, lmao.
Capt. R - Are you saying your yo-yo collection looks like a less than confident vague sentence without punctuation? We all know better than that!
Come on man. At least a haiku, a stick drawing, an interpretive dance video, or maybe even a pie chart!
Yeah no you summed me up perfect there 
I’ll consider when I get home doing a pie chart.
Brandon - I envisioned your collection being ever growing, represented something like this (boomer style). The Ghosts being life’s obstacles and Dots representing every Yo-Yo produced as you procure them all!
I don’t have a ‘pie chart’.
Mine would be more like…. Here’s a map of the entire bakery chart.
There will be rest stops along the path with pretzels and m&m’s.
I hope it’s the pretzels they serve on Southwest flights. And m&ms
This seemed like fun until I was on my third builder, and it didn’t bother to label the last half. This was too much like work for a Sunday morning! I’ll take half credit.
Agreed, very cool idea. Only trouble is that I have 3 years of cataloging to do. I was super diligent in the beginning and then …. Well… haha… they were coming in too fast.
I’ll use this a the kick in the butt to get back on track. I’ve been wanting to do it anyway.
These pie-charts graphically show how useless they are when there are too many slices. A table would be more informative and clear.
My collection is 1/3 One Drop, 1/3 Duncan, 1/3 Other. I’m too lazy to make a chart. Just use your imagination. Ooh, it’s so beautiful… the colors… 
Tables are informative but not very fun. A word cloud weighted on percent of the collection for size and coloration based on sum could be fun and informative.
I did BI for a decade. 
In math talk sounds like YoyoGeezer is instituting the Transient theory . A= yo-yos, B= Pie chart wedges, C = too many .
A=B and B=C, then A=C.
Full disclosure, I’m good with everyone’s chart.
Math is fun. 
EDIT:
I realized I could easily create a Pie Chart based off of my collection details in Notion:
(Duncans are all Butterflies except ONE Imperial)
Be included in a pie chart of yoyo ownership: DONE
When writing lists of career goals I always forget important stuff like this.
BI, is an oxymoron. I have extensive experience with data visualization starting with finance for companies like Swiss Bank as well as independent investment performance analysis and ending with the US intelligence community. Pie charts are useless when there are more than a few slices. Just trying to label these pie charts is making it impossible to read them. This is MUCH better represented by a simple table that lists the manufacturer and the total number owned. Making anything more complicated will just confuse.
(S) good job no critical business decisions depend on our pie charts then hey!
