I’d like a Grail. I’d like to pay you cash for yours.
Yoyos are worth what people will pay. Nothing more. All yoyos mint with acceptable machine marks (wooden yoyos). Cash offers preferred, trades accepted.
-Tom Kuhn No Jive 3-in-1 (BC era) - blue gloss - $20
-BC Apollo - striped finish - $25
-BC Atlas - white - $15
-BC Black Bird - black/red (a few spots of missing paint as visible in picture) - $15
The Apollo, Atlas, and Blackbird are all fixed axle (and not take-apart). They were manufactured by BC/What’s Next, which is the same company that makes the contemporary No Jive.
A lot of people feel that the laminated woods (like the Apollo) are better balanced than normal woods. I think they’re heavier, as well.
I would say that the Apollo plays comparably to the No Jive. Maybe better. Just have a paperclip ready to fish out knots!
