What is there to be confused about? No colorways were ever repeated (1st/2nd run 28s are easily differentiated at a glance). Nobody cares whether an all orange/grey Sebby Peak is one of the 6 from the test ano run or made by combining two orange/grey halves from the production run but I suppose that could be misrepresented. Aside from that I think pretty much everything is well documented in the thread. The Peak is much more well documented than something like the Chief (other than the blog which doesn’t have pics of all the colorways from all the runs I don’t know how else to determine what run # an individual Chief is from and no clue how to determine 65/66/67g ones aside from the ones that have a listed weight on the blog)
Awesome post by sparhawk on some peak pricing info. It really helped me out and I ended up getting myself a nice peak off the BST that I can’t put down now. Thanks sparhawk!
1st run and OG are actually the same I just was switching back and forth and as I said. First run for collecting and third run for playing

ILYY Noctu (Blue Candyblast) Smaller 64 gram version Mint.
Just got it today and def NFS/T but I was just wondering what the value is bc I have been looking for a while for one and not many, especily the lighter 64 gram version, are seen on the BST.
Im guessing around $70, maybe a bit more? What do you guys think? Its one of those throws that are hard to get bc quite a few people want them & there arent many out there, more bigger ones than the smalleEr blue ones, either way its def staying w me no matter what, just wanted to know if my guess on the value was accurate.
EDIT: Was also wondering the price of an EKG (dont have one just wondering bc that one too is hard to price.) Im thinking people that have them want 2-3 hundo, probably closer to the low 2’s with going as low as 160 on a bad condition or raw one?
company: yoyofactory
paint/edition: prison break
throw: g5
condition: mint i have the box
I’ve seen beat EKG’s as low as $60. Mint harikari EKG’s are the expensive ones that could still go to $200 with the 2 right guys fighting for it but I really don’t see it going above $120 realistically. Slayve’s would be at $90 but keep in mind that there’s not that many people after them anymore but there’s only a few put up as well. I know there’s some Re-KG’s floating around along with some 1 off’s that james produced for team members and such like the small bearing version for Nick. These might be worth some money but I don’t think there’s anybody looking specifically for DBYY stuff anymore. The same thought can go for the noctu. There’s very little demand for them but if the right person shows up I could see it as high as $90 but $70 should be reasonable considering it’s unique shape. ILYY just doesn’t sell that well unfortunately.
As for you yoyomanaente the prison break G5 is an older run but not as popular as the sili recessed ones from what I’ve seen so I wouldn’t plan on more than $60.
The 28 stories is what I’m having problems with right now. I know if its in your hand to compare against the earlier run it would be noticeable but on a forum BST it isn’t that simple. I would like to have a peak from each “batch” (think batch may be better than run since so many differences there). I know that a 28s was made from both machine shops and anoed by two diff places. I also “think” I know that the 1st batch 28s should have miss matching nipples and see through to base color on the splashes. But, how accurate is the nipple statement? Did people swap them to have matching sides? If so that could be something that pops up as a warning when it could be true. Would most likely steer clear of it unless could talk to the other halve’s owner. So pretty much just the 28s is giving me probs on trying to make sure it would be from certain run.
Going to go ahead and respond to the other reply about the OG being different than first run while breaking down technicalities. It seems as though the OGs are numbered and placed in a separate category than 1st run or “first batch” which equals 2nd run to some people. The way they are catigorized is the misunderstanding is what I’m getting at.
After reading the history of the peak thread elsewhere I “kinda” got a grasp on how they were released and made. The OGs are (according to what I’ve read mean Levi painted) since they were the only ones released during that period. Then the 1st runs were actually released about a year later which had the 28s and others.
If I am not interpreting this correctly according to the collector market please “correct” me as I’m trying to collect each “run” and “batch” along with every Ti I can get my hands on.
There is a proclaimed Levi peak on BST in rather bad shape but can’t even figure out what run/batch it came from to put a price on it.
There’s the OG peak (There were some raw OG peaks released and you can tell by minor differences)
Then There’s the 28 stories peak (test ano was part of this batch)
Then there’s the second run (You’ll have to talk to chris since who knows which peaks came from which batches because there’s so many tossed into this run. I’d personally just pick up the notable second run peaks that are known for being good. Bearingul for it’s play and swirls for their beauty. The hulk smash and clown town peaksnow has a cult following.I believe the hulk smash was part of the first batch of second run peaks or maybe it was the sebby but they weren’t very good in play. Wedding peak because it’s so limited and the lake peaks fit the rare category as well. Also the levi painted peaks that are not teal, pink or blue would be part of the first batch of second runs as well. They were essentially the pre-release of the second run. Chris had levi do a bunch of 1 off levi painted peaks from the second run. Levi also did commission work at the same time so there can be OG custom painted peaks since he painted whatever was sent to him and raw OG peaks weren’t that expensive at the time. I believe the levi one you’re referring to is the peak that was commissioned for trevlor which is black with purple mountain.)
And last is third run (They were the 3 acid washed peaks and 2 splashes along with a maple drip if I remember correctly)

1st run 28s Peak has a very pale blue tint. 2nd run 28s Peak has a very dark blue tint. They are easily discernible at a glance, they don’t even look like they are the same colorway. People may or may not have swapped halves on 1st run 28s to have matching nipples, there may have been some there were originally assembled with matching nipples as well. They’re all from the same run of 50-60 so I don’t know what difference it makes.
“OG” generally refers to the original Levi painted white eggshell with blue mountain numbered Peaks in current lingo.
Since the seller is a well known and respected community member I’m sure you could trust whatever info he has about the Levi Peak he is selling. I would assume it is one of many painted 2nd run Peaks.
SWYYC Royale- Purple Swirl, has 1 ding and a pinprick.
$60-80
Going by what I’ve seen Royales selling for, I’d say about $60
Thanks for the info, oops! You seem to be quite knowledgeable about Peaks. I thought my Levi Peak was a 1st run but you’re saying that it’s from the 1st BATCH of the 2nd run? Do you happen to know what batch it would be from out if the total number of Peaks made? I’m assuming it’d be from the 2nd.
v1 Proto ILYY Nile, small hairline scratch. Comes with pouch.
Most my knowledge just comes from Ben’s Peak thread and reading a lot of stuff over the years, I’m definitely no expert haha.
“There are more of these than I care to go into detail about. RAN’s collection is very well known. I own Atari and Transformers custom Levi painted Peaks. Trevor’s all black with purple “outlined” logo is ever popular.” is an excerpt from Ben’s thread under 2nd run Peaks right after the eBay ones. I imagine that means that it would be from the first batch of the 2nd run which would be the 3rd batch total?
Would you mind posting or pming me a link to this thread?
afaik linking to YYN is okay now since they don’t have a store, so:

correct on the 3rd batch
You could probly compare the peak to the peak thread and make sure but that’s always been my thoughts on trevlors peak.
Also would like to note that people had “their” peaks painted at worlds. Funny thing is that in order for levi to paint these peaks they have to be prepped which is a lot of work so he had pre-prepped peaks and would just swap the persons peak before painting so a lot of people that may have been handing him first runs were receiving second runs back. Keep in mind that to levi he wasn’t a serious thrower and a peaks a peak to him and for most people at the time it didn’t matter anyways. I’m not sure if he was doing this to the people that were shipping him their peaks as well but I don’t believe so from my understanding.
Blue mountain majesty 1/45
Depending on condition, 80-120.

Yeah this is what has me perplexed as to what to offer on the painted peak on BST as its deffinately one that was custom painted and not bought that way from what I can gather. Not a big deal just don’t want to offend someone with an offer if its way off. There is no telling what the painted peaks really are unless they were the numbered originals or the documented originals. Ill just explain to the guy that I truly don’t know how much its worth but am interested in it. Thanks all for peak help as I’m starting to see why they are sought after by many. Kool story and fun players along with nice art work.
