Maybe you’ve heard of Lucky Meisenheimer.
He’s also the author of Lucky’s Collectors Guide to 20th Century Yo-Yos presumably based on his vast collection… and speaking of … here’s a recent video tour of his collection… enjoy!

When Worlds was in Orlando every year he’d throw a huge bbq at his crazy lake house. We’d check out his collection, he’d have a 15s of fame contest, all the super old school guys would be around and you could chill and chat w them… one of those things I didn’t think I’d miss about Worlds in Orlando but actually kind of do.
He’s a funny guy, I didn’t realize he was also a champion swimmer and wrote a sci-fi novel!
He has a lake-swim he does like every week and always held it during Worlds. It’s like a 2 mile swim or something and you sign his wall if you make it. Always wanted to do it but never… wanted to drown and be eaten by a gator. His kid’s an all-American water-polo player too.
Related to this, Lucky’s yo-yo history page is kind of amazing.
I have the book!
Lucky’s house is kind of amazing (or it was last time I was there, which was at least 10 years back).
Lol OF COURSE Eric Wolff is visible in the first pic chatting with Lucky. There’s another guy with an amazing collection!
Do luckys collection makes mine look SMALL
I was lucky enough to get to experience that. I’ll never forget his house!
