Nice scotrans. Like I was saying, do not let anyone sweet talk you out of any of those without knowing value. That is a collection many of us here would drool over. ---

Hi - Thanks for your responses. I am slowing working my way through the Tom Kuhn and Tom Kuhn-BC yoyos. I am using eBay completed sales and Hall’s Yoyo Museum site  ([Museum of Yo-Yo History](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php)) for the more rare yoyos. Are the values, when listed at the Yoyo Museum close to accurate?  I have found Museum’s description of design & production history in the YoYo Museum’s fascinating. For a couple potential grins, I have posted a picture of what i believe to be a 2nd (or defective) Mandala. Best Scot ---

I wouldn’t go off the prices there. Some are really high, some are really low.  The one you have below is the Snowflake Mandala, the museum has it with a value of $30.  I personally feel that is REALLY low for that yoyo. > [@scotrans](#): > > Hi - > > Thanks for your responses. > > I am slowing working my way through the Tom Kuhn and Tom Kuhn-BC yoyos. > > I am using eBay completed sales and Hall’s Yoyo Museum site  ([Museum of Yo-Yo History](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php)) for the more rare yoyos. > > Are the values, when listed at the Yoyo Museum close to accurate?  I have found Museum’s description of design & production history in the YoYo Museum’s fascinating. > > For a couple potential grins, I have posted a picture of what i believe to be a 2nd (or defective) Mandala. > > Best > Scot ---

Finally after dreaming of one for nearly 10 years a 15 yo-yo Heirloom box set is mine. The icing on the cake is that it contains one of my top 5 most wanted Kuhn’s a 3 in 1 wonder Flying camel. A very happy day indeed.

I still can’t believe I was so lucky, it popped up on the UK eBay site and I was the only bidder would you believe! ( £350 was the winning bid ) I guess there’s very few of us TK fans still left this side of the pond. It has a somewhat different logo on the lid - see picture - all the logos I’ve seen before were fully engraved not just an outline. Does anyone know if this indicates an early or late edition? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/1/f217ee8ce64d18dddb63c82589259b798abd9fa1.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/5/9/25901b39ed6236ab93dfce6836194959a3b6282e.jpeg) ---

Here’s another resent eBay find. This Fisherman’s wharf woody was in a mixed lot of mostly Hummingbird advertising yo-yo’s.

Another great find! I might have to search up TK more often on eBay ;D This is my personal favorite, took a lot of searching to find… ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/7/2/472269bfdef8da95e8b80e716ebcb33cca557771.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/1/8/d18dbe657df93e33005fca13b136663a1b8f5b18.jpeg) This is a version that Tom made very few of.
