That is tempting, Gator Floss was some of the best string around… but I think I will have to pass.

Besides, the Space Bat wouldn’t fit well with the rest of your collection. It isn’t nickel plated. ;D

Ok, I’ll up the offer to two strings of each color, plus one yellow HamString. See, the appraised value is already going up!

I think I will still have to pass. About the only way you would get my Space Bat is if you convinced Paul to bring back Gator Floss so that I could buy my own whenever I need it. 🙂

Depends on your definition. A synonym would be ‘obsolete’, which obviously they aren’t because they’re still fully capable of performing a number of tricks. Though in a competitive setting, most would say they’re a bit out of date - the same goes for your M1. Not to say it isn’t a real beaut, because it is. But play-wise, it’s not quite on par with, say, a Draupnir :wink:

I’m a bit rusty with prices at the moment, but like any older collectable model, it really depends on the buyer. I’d probably put the median price around $80, though. But I’m sure it’s much more valuable to you.

Competitive play is such a small portion of the community though. How many players actually compete versus those that just throw for the fun of it? IF we only judge on competitive performance we are going to miss out on some great models, past and present, that are not designed with competitive play in mind.

I compare cars and yo-yos quite a bit so, using your criteria, my car would be “obsolete” or “out of date” because it is not able to compete on a Nascar track. I would call them classics instead, like comparing a 1967 Shelby GT500 against a 2017 Shelby GT350R. Sure, the newer model is going to be quicker with more modern amenities but the '67 is going to have a feel that you just cannot get today. The M1, Peak, etc fall in that latter category with a feel you just don’t get anymore and are still quite fun to throw. 🙂

Hello,  
I hope this is the right spot. I recently saw a Flores yoyo in a store and I am wondering if it is reproduction or real.

Thanks for your help!

It is a rare-ish throw and a titanium, but it is newer. If it is mint with all the packaging, I would say start at the retail price and go from there.

One Drop Cascade, Vilmos Zoltan Kiss Edition.  
I would say mint but there is a hairline scratch that is difficult to find so I’ll say near mint to be safe.  
I also have the box if that makes a difference. Any ideas?
