I have received the last two of the 5 sportsline yoyos Duncan did in 1965. They are in pretty good shape for approximately 58 years old. The bowling ball is a bit scratched up. I was able to remove the old Strings, polish up the axles, put on a new string and give them all a throw.

I had known about the bowling ball but no the others until I looked at the museum of Yo-Yo history, then the hunt was on. I found them pretty cheep on ebay, they all needed a little bit of work to clean them up.
Bowling ball - 10.50
8 ball - 10.00
Baseball - 24.00
Golf ball and Basketball - 6.50
There is an even earlier version of the bowling ball on there right now but they want 70.00 and I won’t pay anywhere near that. They are on the second relisting.

I’m still looking for the 8 ball and the soccer ball. My basketball and tennis ball are newer Duncan sportsline. They were my favorites to play with back in the 70’s

Those look nice. I thaught about trying to find the latter series of Duncan sportsline but decided against it. I need to slow down and enjoy what I have.
