my first glow in the dark duncan imperial, also my first legit yoyo, and what i learned on. i still play on this particular badboy every so often to this day - although it falls apart due to its continuously variable adjustable gap.
there’s probably about a half dozen glow duncan imperials laying around my house (including one on the table in the background), and i’ll edc one of these or a no jive during the work day.
Omg that’s so cool! I /heart.png @smileypants707!
For me it’s probably my Motor City Yoyos - Blind Pig proto. The Blind Pig logo was my first freelance graphic design project in the yoyo community, so it holds a special place in my heart.
He’s a standup dude for sure - hope I get the chance to thank him in person one day
That’s a very honorable goal. 
I’d also love to have the OG white and orange colors.
send a picture of Black Pyro?
The yo-yo in my very small collection that i value the most is a red and speckled one that my great grandpa had given to me before he passed away when I was 9. I am just starting to find out all the hobbies we had i common and i found out he was a fly fisherman and a yo-yo thrower! I’m now 16 and they get more sentimental as they grow older with you. Sadly i cant remember the name i will find out and post it later ,hopefully.
It was the vintage Duncan return top yo-yo red whistling yo-yo and its in not to bad condition.
That is a really classy pyro. I didnt even know that existed.
What is that yoyo you have pictured there?
oh wow
It is a Mowl Surveillance photoshopped into the colorway I want most. However, Mowl does not really do silver weight rims, nor do they do cherry red bi-metal bodies, so this classic combination will never happen.
There is no doubt in my mind that if I could only keep one yoyo it’d be the Fatlip Dert. I spent 3 years looking for one. I had searched every post on these forums, YYN, and TheYo that had those words in any order. After coming up empty on the old forums and talking to a bunch of the old MOYO guys who didn’t know where any were, I serendipitously came across one in a used yoyo lot on eBay. I could not believe my eyes as it was one of two metals amongst a couple dozen worthless plastics.
Some notable mentions are others that took a long time to track down, like my first USA Hatrick, Eli Dert, and OG Peak. A few ProYo variants would also be hard to let go just because I love the story behind them so much.
My edge monster is my most prized yoyo
I like what you are saying. Especially if you have been into throwing for a long time, there may be several very “precious” yoyos you have.
As I talk to more people who have spent years in this hobby and have traveled to contests, met new friends or even well known competitors!.. there could be a few yoyos you acquired over time that would be very hard to let go.
My Titanium Cadence!
My old Dark Magic II, it’s awesome yoyo and my first bearing yoyo.
My most precious yoyo is a yoyo apartment 1937 v2 and was actually stolen along with my bag on a train two years ago. It was given to me by a friend who soon after passed away.
So it has/had a lot of sentimental value to me. I very recently found another yoyo of the same model after many years of searching as these things are pretty rare (i know he couldnt have bought me a shutter right haha). So super happy to have another yoyo the same but always on the look out for my original it has a big flat spot where it hit the concrete so you cant miss it really…should anyone catch one up for sale
