To Open Or Not To Open? That Is The Question

Yo-Yo Exhibition
1

Allow me to elaborate: I found this yoyo in an antique shop about a week or two ago, and it wasn’t until today that I actually pulled the trigger and got it.

From my research, it is a Duncan Hyper Midnight Special made for Japan, this particular one I think is from 1994. I am not entirely sure if it is rare or not, or if it’s any fun to play compared to today’s fixed axle, 0A standards. So I ask:

Do I open it or not?

P.S. are there any in-package yoyos you own that you’re weighing the option to open? Show em’ here!

It prob plays terrible and you’ll be upset you opened it.

Oooh. I wouldn’t open it. I’d find one for play but keep that one as is.

I wouldn’t open it so that you can preserve it. It will also definitely play TERRIBLE!
