Recent FH1 re-releases from the last few years, and the overall yoyo BST being on the downturn after COVID upturn is kinda keeping them low imo.

Makes complete sense.
I know this is probably a no-no but I don’t know where to start. A good friend and neighbor passed away and he had a collection. My eyes would glaze over when he was talking about his collection but his passion was endearing. I know he overpaid for a Seattle yoyo but I remember saying he had to have it. Anyone think there’s any good ones here? Edit…rats, only one attachment allowed!

This Green Lighting could start around $250 and upward at auction.
Some serious collectibles in this lot. Like @sparhawk said, might want to join Doc Lucky’s FB group, as some of them could also be reproductions from the 1980s through the 90s.

I think there were reproductions made of those some time back.
Like a Franklin mint version or something.

Hello and welcome to the forum! To answer your question, yes, there appear to be a few nice pieces in the collection (and some not so much). Are you wanting to know history or values or something else? My name is Rick Brough and I’m a curator at the Museum of Yo-Yo History website here:
If you would like to ask any questions, I’ll try my best to answer them for you. Regarding the “Seattle” yo-yo (better known as the Duncan Seattlite) here is an exhibit you might find interesting about the yo-yo:
If you’re looking for valuations, an excellent place to start is the yo-yo collection hero value and gallery website. You may need to create a free account to access the site and prices, but it lists prices for what people are paying today for many of the same items in the display cases:
https://yoyo.collectionhero.com/gallery.php
There are also a couple of good yo-yo collecting groups on Facebook, besides Doc’s. The group’s have a lot of well-versed collectors that have interesting information to share about many vintage yo-yos and memorabilia.
Best,
Rick Brough
Curator, Museum of Yo-Yo History

The Duncan’s in the tube pop up here on German BST pretty often and are quite cheap. If you want I can DM you a link when I see one again.
