My collection of Tom Kuhn Yo-Yos has too many holes, and too many duplicates. I’m primarily looking to trade some of my Tom Kuhns for ones I’m missing, but I will also consider selling if you’ve got nothing to trade. DM me for prices. Here’s some of what I have that I’d trade for the right yo-yo:

I had a number of folks inquire about the cost and origin of the Orange Butterfly Inverse Mandala (OBIM) No Jive. I really didn’t have a lot of details to go on; I often pick up Tom Kuhn Yo-Yos just because I don’t have one already in my collection. After some digging and emailing around, I found out more about this particular yo-yo.

The OBIM No Jive was produced as part of a test run for the orange colorant. The test run was produced in 2013 and limited to 20 to 25 units. This doesn’t make the OBIM the rarest Tom Kuhn from 2013; there were many laser carved models that were limited to 12 to 15 units (Light Batiks, Nordik, and Bifrost No Jives).

It is known that Tom Kuhn’s favorite color for a yo-yo is orange and BC was trying out new ways to get that orange color that Tom liked. After the issues with the TK Mini B’s color (it tended to come off) the company tried to find a better orange stain. I’m not sure how successful BC considered this colorant; to my knowledge there have been no additional orange Tom Kuhn models since this was released.
