I wish I had a collection of all the Fast 201 colorways. That would be a cool collection.
I just buy what I like and enjoy playing and not worry about the rest.
I like to keep things simple. Yes, I have quantity. I also have quality. I do have 100% enjoyment.
I try to collect throws that have a significance in history
of course the no-jive comes to mind first
a free hand zero is also a must have
I think the genesis is also right up there
A freehand zero, should definitely be in every collection imo.
Any Anti-Yo
Any yyf 888.
I have a fairly large collection already, but there are a few gems Iād like to add to it. An original Flores. A Duncan Litening. Several different rare Tom Kuhnās. A handmade Eric Wolff. A Stradivari. There are several classic Duncans, Russellās, Royals, etc that Iāve seen over the years that arenāt super expensive, but they caught my eye. And I remember seeing something in Steve Browns collection that I loved. Something that Taka for him. I canāt remember what it was called, but it looked amazing.
I try to get ādiverseā? with it. Different companyās, sizes, shapes, colorsā¦ Almost any CLYW limited will go up in price. Still kicking myself over passing an OG peak for 100 about a year agoā¦ Also the last run sold hereā¦ I have a 2nd run though.
I have had a insane amount of yoyos come and go in the last year. The only ones that have stuck with me are a couple turning points. A couple clyw and a few other high end throws song with my first high end throw the 888x and genesis.
With all of these yoyos I kept them ether because they play great or because they mean a lot to me. However im a Vsnyyc fanatic and have dedicated all my bst history to growing this collection. Ironically the first vsnyyc was the 1 of 1 perfume cloud skywalker bought from heaths āworksā charity auctionā¦ we all know how that āWORKEDā lets just leave it at that. Mess and crap aside I was simply amazed by its design and the insanely awesome anodizing done by og vendetta. It seriously is one of the most beautiful anos I have ever seen and I really mean that. Look it up. Its amazing. Anyways thy is what sucked me in. Since then I have grown this collection from one skywalker to 4 first run skywalkers 4 segment run skywalkers 4 d bearing skywalkers (literally just found out while organizing the case that I got 4 of each run lol thought it was neat) anyways then I have two battosaiās a raw moonwalker and a mirror polished #19 ti walker. I am very proud of my collection expecially the skywalker end of it since its my favorite yoyo of all time. I still have a few I would like but I am happy with the groups of 4 for right now. Maybe since this mess my collections value has gotten knocked down a peg but honestly I couldnāt care less. I didnāt collect them to make a few bucks I collected them because I enjoy them and the hunt was more fun then finally filling the case. Im sure you guys can agree that the fun part of it a lot of times is waiting for the mail or checking the delivery confirmation number a 100 times a day hoping it cleared your post office and is out for delivery lolā¦hopefully thatās not just me my point is I have had a blast with picking one company and mainly one yoyo and trying to get every colorway or version. Maybe its overkill to some but I love to open the case and see all the different colorways of the same throw only need a swamp parts skywalker and white Knight skywalker to complete the skywalker splash colorway collectionā¦ hint hint
Anyways collect what you love dont go into collecting something because you hope its value skyrockets even though it would be nice as far as having a nice little savings bond to sit on. Do it because you enjoy the throw and enjoy the chase
