General yo I don’t any specifically.

Do you know how many were made? I also forgot the Aussie gold highwall 888’s-20 made.

Added 07 888’s.

Do you all think the BBB color way should be added?

No,
It is sought after by many but, I think that if it were to be on a top 10 list that it should be on a top 10 sought after color way list instad of a top 10 sought after throw list. Basically every clyw made with the exception of the: Peak, OG BVM, Basselope, Galactic goose, Wooly Markmont, campfire, Advance scout and obviously the Yeti. I believe the orca and scout are about to be released in BBB in their next runs.

BBB Canvas…

^^
I have to disagree with the BBB Canvas. Even though I have owned the best of the four (or, was it 5?) that were made, a colorway does not count. It has to be the yo-yo itself.

I would have to say that the Ti Walker is the holy grail for all collectors. A peak is great - but again, it does seem to depend on how it is painted.

The Ti Walker, however, is sought after by everyone who knows anything about yo-yo’s. It is literally why we buy yo-yo’s. That first throw out of the box was a feeling that I still look for when I try any new throw. It was like the clouds parted and the angels sang…

The Draupnir was the closest I have come to that magical feeling. But I am older, and more jaded now. Without that precious yo-yo innocence, I fear that feeling is forever lost.

I am realistically searching for Grind Mutant 2. I have already acquired the Grind Mutant.

Curious to see if anyone thinks this list should change. I personally don’t think so in terms of these models’ collectibility, but I really don’t know how many people are still looking for two of those top 3…

I would add the Grail by A-rt definitely. I see that a lot on these forums.

You sure you don’t won’t to sell/trade on of those sovereign’s? This has been my unicorn for a while now.

Pretty sure torrent should be #1

Matt Wright bought the last few I believe if you want one I might msg him on insta @yoyobrothers

I seriously wonder (in doubt) if more than just a handful of people are looking for any of these throws. That’s just my impression.

I understand your point I think. Many everyday casual players aren’t looking for these. I think though the question is geared towards collectors. That list was made by @mrciurleo in 2015. I would say that possibly the Grail would be on the list to fit the “player wanted” throw. If that makes sense lol.

I was actually replying to Matt’s recent post from December '18:

Looking through the older posts it did seem like there was a more active collector base in the past. Or has it always been a bunch of collectors and mostly casual players?

I would say there’s definitely less collectors nowadays. At least for the more “vintage” stuff. I think they’ve been replaced by G2/SF/A-RT collectors but even then I would say there’s definitely less active die hard collectors nowadays.

I think there are probably just as many collectors, what they collect just evolves as you state.
