The black RBC - the *unknown* Unknown edition - The Mystery is SOLVED! 🕵🏻‍♂️

General Yo-Yo

Ever since the MK1/SW black RBC was announced for the second run, I had a feeling that it was a low key Unknown edition. The language that @MarkD used on his site was certainly suspicious:

"Unengraved * completely normal black color. The blast is extra nice on this one.
*do not read between the lines"

I already had the RBC in navy and loved it but I felt compelled to get the gorgeous blackout edition with the matte blast. - sidenote: the blast on this yoyo is very nice feeling, really silky!

I finally got the yoyo on Monday and proceeded to inspect it for any subtle markings. I even looked under the response pads. Nothing… Then this morning I decided to check the box again and I noticed that it came with a unique sticker from the standard RBC.

And there it was, like a clue in a murder mystery. The evidence I was searching for:

Nicely spotted! It’s a real trick of the light - very easy to see before I put the stickers on the black box.

These two clues were to hint that it was a collab, but the actual mystery remains to be found!

I believe my Rhnull is unengraved as well, does this fall under the unknowns or just the Black?
