As I go through some of my things in storage, I’m gonna be posting up yoyoe related items from years, gone by.
And his first item is definitely something from many years ago. Check out the date on the cover 1999. Look at Steve Brown…. he is young enough to be his own son. Jason Tracy, Mark McBride, and the other two I don’t remember?
The newsletter even contains an article that I wrote about basic lubing 22 years ago. That information is kind of dated for sure.
The one page of the high-performance team THP has a very interesting fellow in the lower right corner. None other than Paul Han. He is one bad man. He was back then, and he still is now.
This thread will probably not seem too interesting to many. But for those that have been around for a while, it’s going to get more interesting as I breakout stuff that they certainly will remember. And for some of you guys that haven’t been around for a while, you’ll see stuff that you may have never seen and you shake your head and go wow crazy stuff.
Trust me on this, I got a whole Lotta stuff. I’m gonna be posting up.
Last image for today is one of about a dozen 23 year old yo-yos. I was using the parts for a mod I use to do. But I got tired of the ‘Mod’ and/no more mods means they’ve been in their velvet containers, forever😳
Just to let you know how I could afford to buy all this stuff. I started doing Automotive Collision repair about 50 years ago. I was just a child at the time. You will notice that in the photo, I was so short, I didn’t even have knees yet.
Amazingly, I had a strong advantage when working on the lower dents.
I still have a few more file cabinets…… but ‘this’ one made me smile. Over the last few years, I have seen a few people selling an old glow Duncan, for’Hundreds’ of dollars. They say it is a very rare yo-yo and commands that kinda ‘Collectors bounty’.
……So, I’m looking through a few hundred yo-yos in storage and there it is. The Duncan Glow yo-yo. The price tag says a dollar something😂
I really miss this guy. Never knew his name but we use to chat about modding. He did a small fundraiser for a place in his neck of the woods that does pet rescue mainly cats. He consigned one drop to make a batch of 20 Codes 2 yo-yos. The ano has little cat footprints on it He never told me he had mental issues. But he did tell he had serious health issues. Then he went and killed himself.
I love seeing this collection! I hope you keep uncovering history for those of us that love to see it! Having one or two classics is exciting but having bins would have me held up indoors drooling over "My Precious’ "
What would it take to convince you to part with a set of those OG Astrojax? I love seeing those in the wild especially in that stand up packaging.
A much smaller version is most certainly in the works. As you can see, much of the inventory is still in crates. They have been moved into the staging area…
